I guess I prefer to wait and see what they actually propose rather than speculating. If they say 550 ft., I lean toward believing they mean 550 ft. If that requires some sort of waiver or negotiation, perhaps that's what they intend. There's just more than one way to deal with such issues. One might be a mixed use project with 340,000 sq ft of office and some residential on the upper floors or a hotel like California Center. We can't know until we see a design.
But given that there's quite a bit of consensus that the few sites in that immediate area ought to be the city's tallest structures, it strikes me that no one would be happy building another 25-30 story office building there. And so I think if that's the only option, nothing will get built.
