The so called "four corners" towers of the Hudson Yards all have FARs of 33. Previously, those sites were of unlimited FARs. The tower here will gain bulk through a similar process...

That's just an image of the Tower Verre placed in as an example of a tower with an iconic design. It's not what will be built. That being said, the bulk of the tower can be fit out in a variety of ways, in and out of zoning, since it will require a special permit.
