The second tallest building in the world, Merdeka 118, has an absurdly oversized spire that accounts for 23.35% of the total architectural height. Assuming Grand Hyatt's roof will be at 1,575 ft, adding 23.35% (367.76 ft) would only reach 1,942.76 ft or 592.15 m, shy of the megatall threshold. Perhaps a more realistic and aesthetically reasonable goal is to add a 202 ft spire to beat 1WTC's architectural height by 1 ft.

Same here, as NYC already has too many buildings that rely overly on spires. I would settle for having a roof that's higher than 1,550 ft, the current highest roof outside Asia.
