Tower C:
614 feet to the top of the mechanical penthouse.
596.66 feet to the top of the main roof - this is essentially the 54th level.
584 feet to the highest occupied floor (53rd floor). This is 3 feet higher than the top of the spire of 360.
I wish they showed the elevations for Tower B. It looks to be around 523 feet, but it's probably slightly taller than that since you're using the elevation lines for Tower C which would distort the perspective.
Tower B:
523 feet to the top of the mechanical penthouse.
Tower A:
333 feet to the top of the mechanical penthouse.
312 feet to the top of the main roof.
299 feet to the highest occupied floor (26th floor).

Kevin,
The numbers from page 28 reveal the following:
Tower C - There is an architectural piece which is slightly taller than the roof of the mechanical penthouse. The mech. penthouse roof line is at 1075' above MSL (Cesar Chavez St. is at 458' and Red River Street is at 470'). Look at the "East Elevation" vs. the one below with the MSL heights. The "architectural piece" to which I am referring seems to be roughly 10' higher than the roof of the mech. penthouse. It stretches halfway across the top from the north to the south. So, the actual height of this tower may be ~627'/~615'.
The highest occupied floor begins at 587' above CC St. (575' above RR St.). The roof of the highest occupied floor is 599.66' above CC St. (587.66' above RR St.).
Tower B - We can only guess as to the height since there is no definitive elevation rendering. I believe it is closer to what GoldenBoot stated (525.33'/513.33'). The roofline seems to be in the neighborhood of 983.33' above MSL.
Tower A - Stands 791' above MSL at the mech. penthouse roof. So, you and GoldenBoot are correct with the 333' height (above Cesar Chavez St.). However, the roofline of the highest occupied floor (level 26) is 770' above MSL. Thus, stands at 300' above Cesar Chavez St. So, I don't know where you are getting 312'.
