I hate to be the bringer of bad news on this one, but since I was able to view the building elevations in the site plan on the city's website, it's clear that this won't be 384 feet tall as we thought it would.
Someone earlier in this thread mentioned the height was 384 feet 2 inches to the top of the cooling tower.
Building elevations always use one of three different methods of listing the base number for the ground level height. Some building elevations will list the actual sea level elevation of the ground level point, and then every height above that adds the floor height, roof height and so on. With those elevations, you have to subtract the roof elevation above sea level from the ground level sea level elevation to get your actual building height. Other building elevations simply use 0 feet as the base number, and every height above that is the exact height. So, if the 2nd floor is listed as 24 feet, then that's the number. The same would be true for the roof. If it says 351 feet, then that's the actual height. Other building elevations also will sometimes list the ground elevation as 100 feet. In this case, you have to subtract that number from every elevation height on the building. So, in this case, as the parapet for the mechanical penthouse roof is listed as 384 feet 2 inches, you have to subtract 100 feet from that number. That means the actual height of the Villita Tower is 284 feet 2 inches.
I couldn't believe that was the case, and I had to do a doubletake. You might not believe it either, but an easy demonstration that it's true is to look at the height they have listed for the 2nd floor. It lists the height for the 2nd floor as 120 feet, and there's no way the 2nd floor of the building is 120 feet off the ground.
