Let's hope we don't end up with a bunch of blocky towers like the recent Hudson Yards but get something like the Park Ave or Midtown East proposals.

Unfortunately we may end up with some short ones simply because the developers want more floor space, which would be unfortunate.
As for the approvals process, I don't think there should be a problem. These sites have unlimited height, any direct opposition to just the site can be thrown out. As for the ESB I think Hochal should have already dealt with that when she decreased the overall size of the development.
But I'm optimistic. With the sqft they have we could see a 500 M (or 2) by roof height, then stack a 100 M spire on top ya know what I'm saying.
