As the above picture makes clear, unfortunately anything here won't make an impact on the skyline unless tall. This parcel fills no major gaps in the skyline at all, and is in fact surrounded in all directions by skyscrapers.
I doubt the office tower, if rectangular (a possibility mentioned above), would rise more than 350 feet. The residential tower probably would be similar in height, even on 1/4 of the block. So, I'm hoping for something decent in design but not expecting much with respect to addition to the skyline. All of the action here is going to be making sure the street level interaction is good and design is visually pleasing.
