Oh...as two points of reference - Bank of America Tower in Atlanta is 55 stories and 1,023' tall and the BOA Tower in NYC is 55 stories and 1,200' tall. However, both are in the ballpark of 950' to the roof.

So, one doesn't really need to "stretch" the floors. Just add some architectural piece to the crown of the building to get extra height.
Very true indeed. (speaking of Indeed, totally random I know but they have their logo in Rainbow colors on their HQ Tower for the Pride Parade, saw it lastnight walking)
But I digress... Was just pointing out he is a reliable source.

Isn't one of the NYC towers currently under construction 54 floors and will be over 300 meters... So yea there are many examples of tall buildings that don't necessarily have a ton of floors.
