Looks like office to me, but with 43 floors, you'd think it would be taller with the higher floor plates.
I hear ya! However, I'm not going to worry too much. Renderings are there to give one an idea of what something might look like in a particular setting. Those who create them are not as particular when it comes to getting the precise height as we would like for them to be.
I believe this will be between 625' and 650' tall.

Disappointed the application doesn't seem to have any date ranges.
The License permits are always filed well ahead of the ROW closure permit with dates for crane erection. At this point they can't pinpoint which weekend the crane will go up.
Nice. I mean, holy cow! There are 5 permits filed for it, two for 1,072 feet, two for 1,055 feet and one for 1,033 feet. We must be getting some kind of tiered roof of equal setbacks - rising 22 feet each.

I still want some collaborating info. But five FAA permits with the coordinates pointing to the correct Block 16 site is pretty good info.
Yah, agreed . . . I'm not ready to jump yet, but those permits are juicy. That's a significant enough change that you'd want shiny new renderings, an ABJ interview, etc.
Isn't this an office building? There's no way there's that good of a market for office space for a pure office supertall, so that means we are probably in for a design change. I really liked the design on this one. Hopefully, they just extend the current design up and add balconies for the probable residential they will add on top.
Side note, the convention center is slowly going to start feeling like an open pit mining hole with all these supertalls around it.
