Used to be that was good for a 700 footer in New York, but these days that would equate to more or a lot more, depending on the type of floorplates, floor heights, etc. If they wanted to go for a higher class tower, like the towers we see planned in midtown east, we could be looking at a tower of at least 950 ft. Both Manhattan West towers are larger than One Vanderbilt, but Vanderbilt will be taller.
One thing to keep in mind though is that this tower would rise
above a portion of the current store. That alone would boost the height. This would also fit in with the governor's plan to redevelop the overall area. We still haven't seen the details of that.
