I don't think so. There's so much development going on in the city, if this one doesn't claim a new tallest to roof, another one will eventually. Of course, on a street of supertalls, which 57th will be, that extra height would give it a little something more and create a little more variety in height. We really don't want too many buildings of nearly the same height too close together. With this particular tower, most people will be concerned with the Nordstrom, but making it the highest skyscraper in the city makes it more than that. Whether it does or not though, by no means do I look at it as the only game in town.
