Kinda bummed about the height cut but you know you're spoiled when your city gets a beautiful near 1500 foot building and it's not even the tallest, just extra.

Exactly, we are spoiled, even if it is built to the 1486 ft height, it's still taller than the Sears/Willis tower, which was the tallest building in the USA for 40 years, and the tallest in the world for 24. So it's still an incredible height.
Also off topic, but not sure where else to put this. I noticed last week the Wikipedia page of the tallest buildings in NYC no longer goes all the way to 600 footers. It now stops at 650 foot tall buildings. Kind of a bummer, I remember when I first started following skyscraper construction in 2010, that list had 97 buildings in NYC taller than 600 feet. As of a few weeks ago it had grown to 144. Amazing
