Yeah, a few of us discussed this a few page back, and pretty much agree that the 350' and 400' numbers seem wrong.
This was posted, which shows the smaller building:
http://commissions.sfplanning.org/cp...2012.1097C.pdf
So if that diagram is to be believed, you have a podium floor and amenities/residential floor with a slightly higher than normal ceiling, that are a combined 30' in height, followed by 36 floors at 9'8" per floor, and a mechanical penthouse that looks around 30 feet tall. So the 350' number is just including the 36 floors that are purely residential, and not the lobby/amenities floors or the mechanical penthouse. In total, the building is nearly 380' to the roof and over 400' feet to the very top.
30' for the two lobby/amenities floors
348' for the 36 residential floors
roughly 30' for the mechanical penthouse
total height: 408'
As for the taller building, assuming it's built exactly the same, just taller, here's the height for that one:
30' lobby/amenities
396' for the 41 residential floors
roughly 30' for the mechanical penthouse
total height: 456'
edit: wait, that diagram only show 36 floors instead of 38...weird. Maybe the mechanical penthouse counts as two floors on each building? In which case, chop about 20 feet off each of the heights I came to above. In any case, I'm pretty sure these things are gonna be taller than 350' and 400'.
