Or taller...
If Constructive Ventures remains true to their vision (i.e., 120k SF office + 15k SF retail + 400 residential units + parking), I believe this building will be taller than 50 stories and more than likely eclipse The Austonian in height (even the Fairmont...if it is built to 691'). However, they do have a 74,000 SF piece of land with which to work (much larger than most tower developments). The floor plates could be huge. I'm hoping they are not and the building be developed into a taller, skinnier tower - using the rest of the land for public spaces.
At this juncture, it is not known to the public how tall the tower will actually be (if built). Nor may it become publicized for many months. If they remain on schedule, the tower will not break ground for another 15 or so months.
The project is still in the design phase.
Remember: financing is everything and as it was mentioned in the article...finding capital for condo developments is rough right now.
