All of the “word” we’ve been hearing around here has been to the contrary

Nonsense. As in that makes no sense. Also no basis for such a statement.

Yeah, they are just a company of Related, the same developer that is completing the Hudson Yards project in NYC. Yep, definitely don't have resources for a high tower.

Really dude? I mean ffs, they just finished OBP which is well over 800 feet tall and that wasn't even that big of news

Notyrview · #**564** Posted **May 5, 2018, 8:10 PM**

It'll be a supertall but not gonna get my hopes up for anything beyond mediocre. I hope I'm wrong.

It’s all the same group.

I'm expecting 800-1000 ft for shorter tower. 1300-1800 ft for taller.

DONT JUDGE ME

Notyrview · #**567** Posted **May 5, 2018, 9:24 PM**

c’mon 1800

Well this is exciting! Lets hope for an epic design, since there will be unobstructed views of this thing from the lake and river pretty much for eternity. Related better not disappoint...

Fvn · #**569** Posted **May 5, 2018, 9:27 PM**

If the design is amazing I don't care about height as much, but it would be kinda a waste for the site considering it has the foundations for such.

LouisVanDerWright · #**570** Posted **May 5, 2018, 10:07 PM**

A little birdie told me this will be 7099' tall and designed by Lucien Lagrange.

The hat on that thing would be a thousand feet tall according to Lagrange proportions. For that reason alone, bring it on baby

They just stated the tower will have a taller brother!

Bombardier · #**575** Posted **May 6, 2018, 12:13 PM**

I'm hearing taller tower (condo/hotel) under 1,000'. Shorter tower (rental) under 800'.

Hopefully the project gets blocked then. That's weak

That’s terrible. And definitely not way taller by any measure. Where did you hear this?
