One Vanderbilt’s height was increased to that 1,500 ft height during the approvals process. It was then reverted to a lower height as they worked on floor plate sizes. It’s not a smaller tower, just a different height. This tower could go either way, especially if Foster is still on it. I wouldn’t mind some 425 Park style fins on it. Whatever the case, it won’t be some cheaply designed tower.
