That would make it among the top, the site itself was only $167 million.

There are no height limits. It will only be as tall as feasible.

Could be. Then again, the tower at the "Hudson Spire" site alone will be a $3 billion tower.
Anyway, this is good news either way you look at it, especially with Hines and SHoP being brought in. Those two have a hand in 2 of the best designed developments going up in the city, 111 W 57th, and the Tower Verre.

“The addition of SHoP’s creativity and innovation is a significant enhancement to the project as we look to blend the residential, retail, and commercial elements into an architecturally-significant addition to the North Chelsea/Hudson Yards neighborhood.”

Vishaan Chakrabarti, a partner at SHoP, said in a statement that the firm hoped to “create a building that evokes the best of historic Chelsea while making a strong contemporary addition to the skyline.”

SHoP Joins the Hudson Yards Party With Tenth Avenue Tower

SHoP is one of the hottest architecture firms in New York right now, so it was only a matter of time before someone brought them to the development party happening around Hudson Yards. Developer Frank McCourt selected the firm to design his $3 billion, 730,000-square-foot mixed-use tower at 360 Tenth Avenue.
The Real Deal also reports that McCourt brought in Hines as an equity and development partner. No renderings were released, but SHoP partner Vishaan Chakrabarti said they plan to "create a building that evokes the best of historic Chelsea while making a strong contemporary addition to the skyline."
