On the other hand, there is not really any reason to think having 497 units would require it to be nearly 700' tall. See for example, the Paseo apartment tower under construction in Austin -- 557 units and 570 feet tall.

Also in Austin - The Travis apartment tower is under construction. It's a 423-unit, 52-story, 594-foot tower. The building is quite thin.
Height will depend on the floor plate size. If the floor plates in the Travis were twice the size, the tower would be half the height with the same number of units.
