definitely an older rendering of 725.
not only is the office tower missing, but the height figure listed is wrong.
the most recent height for 725 is 52 floors | 542' (from when the project was approved back in february), not 58 floors | 615' as listed in that rendering.
in any event, it's very cool to see something finally proposed for that obnoxiously large surface lot to the south of R+D 659 (i used to live there a lifetime ago).
it also looks like they made a concerted effort not to block too many views/sunlight from 659, perhaps that will help mitigate some NIMBYism.
