Lesson learned, do not listen to all this marketing pitch coming out from sellers. It only serves one purpose... to sell.
I would not put too much weight on $3.2 bln price either, it's an estimate and can change any time.

We already knew that the design of the Hudson Spire proposal wasn't what was going to get built. There was no "mumbo-jumbo". The site, as it was marketed, was for
half of the development rights which Tishman now controls. They could build a tower
taller than what was envisioned,
if they so chose to. There was no lie, no gimmick, and no "trickery".

I think you're all getting to "frustrated" over the 61 floor figure. If construction is expected to begin next year, there will be some type of rendering, even if preliminary in due time. Save yourselves the grief until you have something to grieve about. I'm excited for this tower, and excited at the prospect of construction beginning next year, a full 2 years ahead of Related's expected start time for 50 Hudson Yards, which will sit between this one and 30 Hudson Yards.
