This is the city's top business district, where there hasn't really been anything new built in decades (other than a handful of new buildings). It will be easier when the rezoning goes into effect, and there are more developers with property here than on the west side. And to get the largest buildings built, great architecture will need to be presented.

I'm not expecting it to break that roof height, but I do expect some type of large crown or spire to break the ESB's 1,454 ft total height. So yeah, this could beat Nordstrom's height. But stay tuned, there's a lot that could happen between now and then, other towers that could be revealed.
