They are referring to any above ground level, not necessarily the designated ground floor. This came about due to Trump Tower Chicago, which has multiple above grade entrances. 214m is the correct height. The tower has above grade building entrances on 2 streets and there is a steep 9m gradient.

Finished floor level at threshold of lowest entrance door
Storeys are measured from the designated ground floor, so there is no impact.
