I was thinking the same thing, with the proximity of this tower to the Tower Verre, not to mention Extell planning a large tower down the block. There's a similar "race" Downtown with the Beekman/Park Place/Leonard Street towers trying to claim a piece of the skyline. It's a race Beekman is winning at the moment. This one, meanwhile, has the jump on Tower Verre.
