It's often said that most developers don't care about height, but this one clearly does. Thus I am cautiously optimistic that the finished product will not only include a new highest floor in the Americas (as we discussed recently) but also a new highest roof.

We are guaranteed at least 1,500 ft either way. Can’t be mad at that. But higher would be welcome, not just for the height, but because the best designed towers should be the ones to stand out on the skyline. I’m still not over the 200 ft haircut at 53W53, even if it still wouldn’t be the tallest today.
