Hmm, I didn't realize that the hotel component would be such a small portion of the whole tower; I was expecting at least 50%. In this case I am less pessimistic about the height. It might still take a substantial vanity height to exceed 1600 ft, but crowns and spires are fairly common for mixed-use buildings especially those dominated by office use, so as long as Grand Hyatt is feeling ambitious, it may indeed happen.
1725 ft would be exciting, but even better to add another 52 ft of vanity height to beat the 1WTC! I hope it's a well-designed crown, not a skinny spire like the 1WTC's or NYT's.
