Also, notice that Table 1-2 says "up to 1,646 feet", so it could end up being significantly shorter than that. Hopefully it will be at least 1,557 to beat Tower Fifth.
Agreed, 3B sounds like what an 1100 footer would cost in NYC.

I think people are getting prematurely excited about the height too. I'll be more hopeful when things are finalized. I also hope 2030 is the year of completion and not ground breaking.
