When does it become final? To say when is "said building" will be say 1,500 feet to roof? When is the last time it can be changed or modified? I think in some other thread it was mentioned spires/antennas can be any height. So my question is when does the height become "finalized" as is to say "we can't build any higher". (or lower)

Pretty much never. There is no timeline when you say that the height can't be changed anymore. Even if the construction is well advanced, they could decide to increase the height, In that case the major constraint would be that the building was structurally calculated to have a certain height, but if they revise the calculations and determine that a height increase is possible, they can do it, and ultimately, they can also reinforce the already built structure if needed. Even is the construction of the building is finalized, they can still add a crown, for example, and increase the height of the building. (if probed structurally safe) Obviously for the contrary there isn't any type of impediment either, if building a 70 story tower, they decide to cap it at the 20th floor, because there isn't more money or whatever, they simple do it.
As for the permits, they can also be modified at any time, even with the construction ongoing, as long as the building is still conforming to the variables required by the city.
That said, once the building has obtained the final permit and the construction begins, it is unlikely for the developers to change it, but because that is already what they want to build, not because they can't do it. But as I said, if for whatever reason they change their minds during the construction, they can still do it.
In the case of this tower, most probably those 1522 ft will be the final height and won't be changed, at least not significativelly. |
