On the other hand, you have Barnett removing a spire that he never wanted, and said he wouldn't have on his tower. But the big towers like 50 Hudson and the Spiral end up being a little higher than planned, but not for the sake of vanity height. Same with 9 Dekalb.
It all depends on design, but yeah.
I don't know if they will give a full tower reveal. But they might. They said they would be back at CB5 with the design early next year. That could be the first week of Jan or Feb when the Land Use committee meets.
