I was thinking the same thing, as far as coloring. But there will be no branding on the crown, the city doesn’t allow it, and they will be forced to build by city code. Therefore, I expect to see setbacks. We know Wynn currently has a supertall casino project under construction in the UAE:

The tower in New York has been described as one of the “most incredible tall buildings in New York City.”

project scale that will attract global attention

further leads me to believe that this proposal will be the tallest in the Hudson Yards district, possibly aiming for #2 in the city, maybe even surpassing the Freedom Tower. This is all speculation of course, but I try to read between the lines. One thing for certain, it will be an awesome proposal.
