Title should be changed too:

NEW YORK | 1225 Broadway | 476 FT | 38 FLOORS

Quote:
Designed by VOA Associates, we knew that it would be relatively tall for the area and have a cantilever. But here's the first look at the entire hotel, all 38 stories, and the mall-like chunk of retail shops slated for 100,000 square feet of space at its bottom. And thus NoMad's rapid transformation continues.

Quote:
The average height of luxury residential towers in the vicinity has seen a rapid increase, but hotels have remained fairly restrained in height, with the tallest generally topping out around the 400-foot mark. 1225 Broadway will stand 476 feet tall — hardly short, it will still be relatively visible from the surrounding neighborhood, which is dominated by pre-war mid-rises and the backdrop of the Empire State Building.
