That will all become clear in time. If not for the spire, then the 3 ring floors would be counted as the top of the building, putting the height at 1,401 ft (or whatever it is determined to be using the new height guidlines). Because both the 1,776 foot and 1,368 ft heights are symbolic, not much is being made of what the actual top of the crown (ring) is. I think that is something that will only become obvious when that part nears or is under construction.
When looking at the stacking diagram, it
looks as though the height is taken from the Fulton Street entrance and not the lower Vesey Street entrance. Hasn't been clarified yet, but maybe ZenSteeldude will have info on that.
