No boring place holders for these guys.

How realistic it is that 900 foot skyscrapers will be built that tilt near the top, though, I'm not so sure... something tells me it wouldn't be a very popular feature for the denizens.
Those rounded curved placeholders are for Hudson Yards and most likely will be far from what the final design will be.

Contare... Brookfield is downplaying their two "boxy" 4.7msf "place holder" towers just west of Farley station as shown in the models above. For these two towers, they are purposely downplaying the height of these two towers in order NOT to draw attention or alert the nimbys i.e., the northern boxy tower appears to be 700-800' but in reality is a placeholder for 1.6msf or 1100+ ft. tower and the southern boxy tower appears to be 800-900' but is a placeholder for 2.5msf or a 1300+ ft. tower.
