There was a little debate a few months back (see above) - if it will be taller than Penn Mutual Tower at 375 ft. I'm guessing - probably not.

However, I don't care here - whether it's 325 or 400ft etc.... This is great news, and that tower looks sleek as hell.

Ground breaking should be early 2015 definitely, since the target opening date is Spring 2017. Very cool.
11 X 26 = 286
Plus probably 20 foot lobby = 306
Plus probably 40 feet for top of building/mechanical = 346
Plus 7 inches per floor slab in between floors. 7 X 27 = 189 inches or 15 feet

Total: 361 feet. Now numbers may be off in some slots so I believe the 361 number is correct.
