This article states it correctly that it will be the "second tallest residential building"

Well, one article is right and one is wrong, lol. So, I guess we will wait and see the final plans. Just for arguments sake, never base a building height off of floor count

*Edit: I'm trying to wrap my head around the numbers. This tower would have 350 units. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't 44 Monroe only have about 190 or so units? And the proposed Derby Tower was at 210 units on 19 floors. For this tower to have 350 units with 25 floors above parking, these would have to be small Derby-sized units....or one heck of a large footprint? 39,970' seems average for lot-size, so I'm guessing micro-apartments?

*2nd Edit: Finally got to a PC and not my cellphone and was able to Google the location and read the AZ Big Media article. Looks like the chosen lot is a pretty good size, so it appears this will be a pretty good sized footprint. I hate squatty high-rises, lol. But this may be just what AZ Center needs to become a vibrant location! Also, could this also put the theater to better use? I wondered why they did not reduce the number of screens.
