Hey, its working. We're talking about it, some in the media have picked it up. I don't think it would be making any news otherwise.
I'm not the only one thinking about the extra two feet...

80 South Street Tower Climbs Closer to Reality

It’s been almost five years since Santiago Calatrava’s proposed tower at 80 South Street was scrapped, but the project is showing new signs of life in the hands of Morali Architects. If the most recent proposal is approved, the Financial District will boast a 998-foot tall skyscraper in the height-lacking eastern side.
The tower features recurrent gardens every ten stories, with a hotel on the lower floors, and residential apartments above. The released photos show a dynamic contrast of sleek glass and viridian skygardens spanning some 3,000 square feet, which illuminates Morali’s resolve to integrate sustainability into the urban downtown. Morali’s interest in using potential LEED components supports this envisionment of green living.
While it will still be some time before FiDi sees something built at 80 South Street, Morali’s proposal breathes new life into the South Street Seaport. Several have voiced their opinions via Facebook, with the apparent majority supporting the tower. However, one question remains on the minds of many--why not two more feet?
