So from my quick look at the photo:

30 storey tower from podium to base of top hat.
Maybe 3 more floors within the top hat? Some kind of fancy penthouse.
7-8 storey podium (also looks like the podium matches what was shown on their handout form a couple months back).

So right around 40 storeys. Also that top hat is pretty tall, which adds to the height.

This story in the Sun (I know) today talking about how spires, etc. inflate the heights of buildings.

"The building with the largest vanity height is the 828-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai, of which 29% or 244 meters is unusable - which would rank on its own as the 11th tallest building in Europe, the CTBUH said."

244m of unusable space is crazy talk.
