Even at this height for this development, it won't really stand out as a whole. Its all relative to where its at. This area is getting taller as a whole (surrounding blocks). Plop this in Midtown, and its a drop in the bucket. Plop it in LIC or DoBro, and yeah, it'll make headway. When we factor in the whole city, this won't even crack the top 50. Something like the 57th or 58th tallest at its height once complete. IF completed today like at this moment in time which will only become higher, as it distances itself in the rankings as "X" time progresses. Add 2 or 3 years, and this will diminish in its height rank.
