Just a note, a boutique hotel can be as tall as the owner wants. I stayed at Hotel 71 in Chicago and it was 36 stories tall. I know Chicago is an exception but i believe "boutique" just means no chain hotel affiliation.

Having said this, i can't imagine that it would be a supertall at this location. I would guess around 10 storeys as well.
