A 1,350+ foot building isn't quite a signature tower as 30HY is nearly 1,300 feet but definitely more than I expected here.
Are these heights just the maximum allowable?

There is no height limit on site, and the site still isn't really that dense. It's zoned as a superblock, like the other railyard phase, and Manhattan West. The overall FAR still remains around 12. They're amending the layout, which shouldn't really be a problem since there originally wasn't supposed to be two towers in the middle of that phase (it was said because of the tunnel underneath). The affordable housing is still there, as is the school. The only thing changing is the increase in office space, and decrease in the number of condos. The # of affordable housing units will remain the same. The bigger battle is for the casino license itself.
