I think that the article quoted by NY Guy said “nearly” 1,600’ tall. Does that mean 1,550, 1,590, etc. I hope that it’s the new tallest.

The tower will be about 1,600 feet tall, a spokesperson for the development team told CoStar News. That would rank it as the city’s second-tallest building, among existing skyscrapers, just after the 1,776-foot-tall One World Trade Center in lower Manhattan.

Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase is building its 1,388-foot, 60-story global headquarters at 270 Park Ave. Developer RXR also plans to co-develop 175 Park Ave., a project billed as a nearly 1,600-foot-tall tower with the highest occupied office floor and the highest hotel in the Western Hemisphere.

That could mean exactly 1,600 ft, or maybe a little more, or maybe a little less. I think it’s probably a little higher. We are a long way from construction, so I don’t doubt that number could change. Especially if they’re not finished with air rights.

I expect the top of 350 will offer a similar setup at the top, with views all around.

That’s the article I referred to. Hopefully, it will have the city’s tallest roof. That seems likely.

That’s the Bloomberg interview with JD I had commented about. He’s amazing!

Why?

Also is it possible 175 Park going back to something approaching it's original height?

They would have to resubmit the application, not sure how complicated of a process that is but I think it's fine at its current height especially if this one will be taller.

Because the City’s tallest roof currently is 1,550’, and this will be around 1,600’.

Ah sorry, misread. Exciting stuff.
