Well, that may come at another site somewhere in Manhattan. You never know. This tower would be among the tallest in Manhattan, but it's not really one of the largest office towers. It will be about 1.4 msf of office space, compared to the WTC and Hudson Yards big boys of well over 2 msf of office space, some double the amount of space here. The thing about the towers here, even with a rezoning of 30 FAR, the footprints aren't as large as those other sites.
The desire of SL Green to give us a signature tower, as well as the rise of office floor plates in Manhattan are the main reasons this thing is so tall.
