I actually goofed the first time I read the building elevations because it was hard to read the print. The ground level elevation is 466 feet, but I read it as 468 feet. So it's actually 2 feet taller than I had read it. So it turns out this building's official height will be 399 feet 6 inches. So rounding it up you get 400 feet.

Here are the correct heights starting from the listed 466 feet above sea level elevation:

399 feet 6 inches to high roof. This is the highest point on the building.

389 feet 6 inches to level 31. This is a mechanical level inside the mechanical penthouse above the main roof.

375 feet 6 inches to level 30. This is another mechanical level.

361 feet 6 inches to "level 29" - this actually the main roof parapet. This would be the barrier wall between you and the "drop."

359 feet 6 inches to "roof" - this is the main roof slab. It's the surface you would walk on on the main roof.

345 feet 6 inches to the 28th floor - this is the highest occupied floor. It's the last office floor.
