It needs to be at least 800 ft. to have any skyline presence.
It is too bad that this wont be a skyline changer but at the same time, I think it will be far better looking than what is here presently. Besides, think of all the skyline changers that are either going up or will be going up shortly:

- Tower Verre
- Hudson Yards North
- Hudson Yards South
- Equinox Tower
- (that 1060 ft. tall building going up near Hudson Yards)
- Manhattan West
- 432 Park
- One57
- 11w 57th street
- 225w 57th street
- One WTC
- Three WTC
- 39 Park Street

And We can't forget the eventuality of Two WTC and One Vanderbilt.

Either way, we are going to see a lot of new cranes on the skyline over the next few years.
