They’re not looking at official documents. Initially, it was supposed to be at 1,388 ft, but it’s been adjusted to reflect the actual height. Outlets won’t be concerned with such a minor adjustment, but if you want accuracy, it’s 1,389 ft.
I posted this as well, because it’s widely reported as a 2.5 msf tower, which it is. But here, where we’re concerned with how much space can be built and where, you can see what
