Does this sound right?

There's the two Monaco towers at about 500 ft, the two Marbella towers at 429 and 450 ft respectively, and in the one area where there is a clear view in another year or two groundbreaking there for the San Remo which will be tallest yet at 61 stories and 0ver 650 ft. That sure looks more conducive to 99 Hudson which if the sparse info since the final approval from the Planning Board this past Tuesday is correct, has at 79 stories, and still at least 900 ft. It's very misleading if they are promoting this Hudson Exchange West tower (in reality 35 stories, 400ft) as having any real views of Manhattan... just too much going up to block it.
There are still two big lots on Hudson Street which breathtaking view potential, both currently owned by Goldman Sachs... 50 and 55 Hudson. Also, if they ever develop Harborside 4 as an office tower (Harborside 6&7 lots now being made into three residential towers, each standing around 70 stories or so at about 700ft)it lines up square with a tremendous view of the WTC complex and Lower Manhattan.
However, no views like that in any way from the Hudson Exchange project once San Remo fills the skyline directly in front.
