Well, we got at least 7 buildings from those renders above with roof heights over 1000', plus there are still more to come. We're the only city in the country that has that going on, and 2nd in the World (behind Dubai). Not to mention all the other 700+ footers going up. The way I see it, noone else can touch New York.

And to that quote from the article above; I feel that that concept is one that has been drained in Midtown Manhattan, due to the decades of development. The facing of Avenues is something that is coming to an end for new buildings in that part of the city, and hopefully a building such as this can start a new trend and be used as an example, that building mid-block isn't a bad thing (in terms to an address).
