Could Empire State / Port Authority developments still lead to a 400+ meter tower? It would be nice for this area to have one of those someday.

There was no overshoot here. They have once again shifted plans. It now remains to be seen if the city/state will accept the financing model to get the platform built. They did it with the first phase, but there are critics for everything. Also, the alternative scenario (should they not get the casino license) could show the return of the office tower.

BTW, the whole purpose of redeveloping the area isn’t just so a 400 meter tower can rise.
