It's a private development, and Related is not in business to "push the envelope". The goal is to produce needed and economically viable office space. The towers are in the same height range as the Manhattan West and 15 Penn Plaza buildings.

How tall is the South Tower?

NYC will never get a megatall now that they have wasted the last opportunity.
