I don't know where the info on the FAA filing came from. But I've noticed incorrect info on FAA filings before. All five or so permits for this project say it's in Dallas for Christ sake.
I would prefer to use one source for the height calculation rather than picking the tallest point from one source and the lowest point from another. So I'm sticking with the ~600 page document dump from Anonymous source #2 since it has the most info about the lowest and highest points. The tallest point on the tower that I could find was 1,481' 6" or 1,481.5'.
That's 1481.5 - 450.41 = 1,031 (Rounded)

My interpretation of the rendered site plan (based on nearly 40 years experience in the architecture / development world FWIIW) is that the lower terrace adjacent to the two doors is at 452.0. The 450.41 spot elevation is at the top of the bank adjacent to the terrace.
So, 1481.5 - 452.0 = 1,029.5 rounded up to 1,030.
