Also, what's the sub whacker and upper whacker thing? If this is measured from 50 feet underground than the roof is actually 1094 feet.
wacker is a double-decked street (actually tripled-deck at this particular spot). lower wacker is not technically underground. upper wacker is merely elevated above it. per CTBUH rules, the "base" of a building is determined to be at the lowest open air entrance to a building, which in the case of this project will be at the lower wacker level. so until we get better info, 1,144' is the figure to go with.

read kamin's trib article again if you still don't understand.
