As with any case, it depends on where the height is measured from (bofa), but its still to early here to say exactly what the height will be until the design is revealed or we've seen some drawings. Those DOB filings often don't reveal what will be the final height of a building. Take for example One57. We've known for a while now what the actualy height is, yet some in the media are still using the DOB height as a reference...

At 1,397 feet, the tower would surpass a residential property Extell Development Co. is building on West 57th Street. That one is planned to reach 953 feet, FitzGibbon said. The Extell site is slated to be New York’s tallest residential building when it’s completed next year.
