Well, whatever comprehension may be lacking, I've explained it.

Look up some of the most expensive sales in Manhattan, you will find not everyone wants to be "up top", or even halfway there. There's a market for being sky high, no doubt about it. But it's not the "end all, be all" of Manhattan real estate.
I notice that another thing some of you seem to overlook is that this is as much a Nordstrom development as Extell's. Extell has the rights to build the residential tower above the store, but the site and the store belongs to Nordstrom. It was Nordstrom that chose the architect here, and a "high quality" development is what Barnett promised them. It will be a very tall building, no doubt. But its not being driven by height. And we'll see exactly what that is when all is revealed.
