I suspect there is something up their sleeve here. I think we are going to see the plan change to purchase and demolish 477 and have that be the Madison frontage base of this supertall. It would make sense that it would be the same height as the base of the Park Ave frontage up to the first setback (347'). I think that may also explain the smallish squat nature of the current arcade behind 485 shown in the plans. I suspect this will change if/when the 477 parcel is folded into the plans.
At least that's what I'd do.
