I don't know about the height. The perspective in that rendering is a little off, so it's hard to say. It's around the height of the CP Tower judging from the model.

Most actual proposals of that height, at least outside of New York, don't get built in the US. This one at least was far along enough that they did testing with the building model. I don't think it was just a rendering for the sake of marketing or some other such waste of time.
Anyway, the skyline is changing as it is...
