I wouldn't call that a placeholder, though there would undoubtedly be design revisions.

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.
Although Brookfield's 4 railyard towers are each less than 2 msf, the floorplates are different from the typical, big box towers that have large bases. The larger of the two 9th Ave office towers would probably be in the 1,000 ft range, but I doubt the smaller would. David Childs is working on that one as well.
