Yes, and as I recall just a few years ago when 53W53 was proposed that it was chopped down from 1250 to 1050 ft because the main approval committee persons said the top was unfinished and it should not share the space with the ESB, and other committee and council persons saying it was mid-block. It is a nice addition to the skyline but is now mostly obscured by the taller buildings. It would have been a wonderful skyline enhancer if it was built at 1250 feet.
