It's 1,398 to the top of the parapet according to the latest documents filed with the DOB. We don't know what the exact height is because it hasn't been shown, but the latest revisions show it has inched upwards, as opposed to down. It could be that the final height is 1,398 ft. Given the name of the building, it's long been speculated that the fina height will be 432 meters. I'll adjust the height in the title to alleviate confusion.

Frankly, the only people it matters to are the relatively few who will buy apartments there. I'm sure they welcome your opinion though.

Some would say the same about that quote.

I could see some people being scared to live there. Frankly, there are many people who would be scared to live that high up regardless of how thin or "sound" the building would appear to be. But again, there is a market for it. Because
you may not like it doesn't mean the next man won't. There are people who want to be high or higher than everyone else. And they'll pay a lot - a whole lot - for the privilege.
