I'm confused. If this is true, then these are around the same height (if not taller) than Cadillac Tower judging from the massing models you posted.
As for the renderings, any from street level have visual distortions. But given that it was clearly looked shorter than Cadillac Tower, knowing that it's only around 20 floors, it seemed to strongly imply that it's going to be much taller in height to the neighboring One Campus Martius than Cadillac Tower. The floor heights you'd need to get close to Cadillac Tower with that number of stories would be unusual, and I don't see why Gilbert would want to spend on needlessly extra-tall floors. We're talking floors that would literally be over 20-feet on average. Even taking into account the high ground floor the floors would still be unusually tall.
