That's amazing new that it might be higher than 50 stories! I had been assuming that 50 stories was the tallest we could possibly expect to see it, but if there's potential for it to be taller, then it seems more likely that it will actually reach 50. Imagine if it was 60! Having even one 60-story tower would give a major boost to the reputation of the the Phoenix skyline. There are plenty of cities without anything that tall. Granted, there are plenty of office buildings with fewer floors that would be taller than this building (since it'll be mostly residential), but in the minds of the general public, 60 stories sounds more impressive than say, 48 (even if the respective heights are 600' and 700'). Generally, I see 50 stories as a critical point in skyscraper height, where anything with 50 or more is in a different class.
