wait so the taller tower 3 idea has already been scrapped?

damn thats my favorite tower!

I remember reading somewhere way back that the plan called for tower 5 to be no taller than 900 feet, tower 4 no taller than 1200, tower 3 no taller than 1350 and tower 2 no taller than 1450, ill try to find the article, but in the mean time if that's still true, there's quite a bit of leeway, they should be able to make these towers taller or at least fit more office space in them?
