LOL!

the towers are ~70 floors.

the green space in the model is generic, not specific. the original site plan had 5 clumps of these towers strung along the east bank of the south branch of the river (where the riverline mega-project is currently underway, and where Related's "The 78" is slated for). all told, it would have housed something on the order of 15,000 people.
