CTBUH has been saying 1,559 ft and 88 floors since at least Dec 2023: https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/torre-rise/39675

This building does have a nice spire. Wish there were more tall buildings around it, but that's the way it's done these days.

As far as the height, maybe someone can get us some official information.

It'll be about 3 meters taller but CPT has the higher roof / occupied floor by a considerable amount.

It recently reached 284 m, so it has surpassed the 279.1 m Torre KOI and is now the second tallest building in Mexico.

Construction of Rise Tower in Monterrey has reached a defining milestone, surpassing 300 meters in height and firmly establishing the project as one of Latin America’s most ambitious architectural undertakings. Rising in the Obispado district, the skyscraper is projected to reach 484 meters upon completion, positioning it as the tallest building in Mexico.

As structural works continue to advance rapidly, the tower has already transformed Monterrey’s skyline, becoming a visible symbol of the city’s economic growth and increasing urban density.

Probably not but never say never.

Looks like it would be taller than USA's new tallest in OKC.
