200N Riverside looks great, especially the lower floors and public riverside amenities (wonder how much those boat slips will run for?).

I think we just have to wait and see how leasing goes after they take it to market; not out of the question that they could go higher, but obviously we have to accept that the people at Hines have crunched the numbers and determined the appropriate height based risk from the leasing market and potential ROI. If the market for their building is hot hot hot, that equation changes and they'll smell a higher ROI by building taller. Heightwise, I think it would be great to be bumped up about 50-150ft, to bring it to a comparable level as nearby 300N LaSalle but of a different form.

But even if they don't, I'd be delighted and satisfied to see this project built as-is rather that nothing at all.
