Those balconies are way too narrow and shallow for trees that size. Developers want trees all up and down their towers but don't want to lose the square footage needed for them.

Its a very bulky building, which the skyline doesn’t really need more if. But I’ll take it over another 50 Hudson, which is a big monster.

Height alone is not what makes a building more worthy over a demolished building. An extra 200 ft here doesn’t move the needle all that much.
