Just stating the obvious fact that nearly every supertall proposed or built in NYC in the last 20 years has had a height cut. Overpromise and underdeliver.

You see, you still don't understand it. It was just stated, as all who frequent this forum should know, this tower was supposed to be 1,350 ft. A revised proposal stated that this tower would be "about" 1,600 ft, which they are still saying, and it still is. But further, towers like Central Park Tower, Steinway, Vanderbilt, for example, are ALL taller than they were initially supposed to be. 625 Madison was supposed to be about 1,200 ft. It's now at 1,220 ft (and counting). Just stop already.
