I agree that it could end up being 600 feet or so with any added residential. If they added ~200 residential units, it could push it to that height. It's just hard to imagine what it'll be like. This would be a very different kind of building. I don't know of any county courthouse anywhere that has a truly shared use. Not to mention that at 600 feet it would probably be the tallest county building in the country. Unless New York or Chicago has something taller. In the Blues Brother movie, they very famously stormed the Daley Plaza, which not only holds city offices, and is the tallest city government building in the world, but also had the Cook County Tax Assessors' office in it.
Anyway, I put in a place holder of 620 feet into my LEGO model, and oh man, that would be sweet. There's a sort of canyon feel coming up there with the W, 360, the courthouse and farther away The Austonian. Not to mention whatever they do at Green. There's going to be some major density around there.
