It doesn't matter as it is prominent given its location. Some supertalls, especially in NYC, like the NYTimes, 53W53, and One57 are not that prominent, and even beloved Chrysler is no longer prominent in the NYC skyline... And the supertall designation is just a designated marker. It could have been set at 900 ft or in the future it may be raised to 1200 ft.
