This was inevitable from the beginning and resulted not from Hines but from the city's studies of shadows. I'm fairly sure I recall the 1000' figure is occupied space with a substantial amount of mechanical and decorative "stuff" on top of that (including wind turbines in the original design). 1200' of occupied space would have shadowed Justin Herman Plaza and that wasn't going to happen.
