Nordstrom at ~1,480 roof and Park lane at 1200+ will alter the skyline dramatically enough as is. Maybe there is still a chance of this going up somehow anyway. I would like to see it built, but it's not one of those buildings that would be devastating for me if it got cancelled, despite the height.
Don't get too excited, Zappo. Even if this story were true, which is far from established, there is an avalanche of money flowing into NYC to fund projects. Thus, this clearly will be built. I know you're purportedly "excited" about NY's projects, but your incessant penchant to propagate doom and gloom suggests otherwise. In any event, this is not the Chicago Spire. There is demand, and there will be funding.
