The text should be just what the tower will fit within. Whatever version eventually gets built should fit within that envelope.

When we get to construction, and DOB permits are filed, that would give us an indication of final height. But even then, that's subject to change if necessary. We saw that with Vanderbilt, CPT, and Steinway, among others.

The thing about the crown is, I like it as a nod to the Chrysler, and a bookend to the base. If you look at these two drawings, you can already see a difference. I hope they're going with the version originally shown.
