From an entitlement standpoint, the building was originally approved at 50 stories (715 ft). It then
went back to the city in April to increase the height to 51 stories (~729 ft).
So it sounds like this is a case of a permit being issued for the lower portion of the building, and then the developer seeking a full permit to cover the remainder?
Edit: Unless maybe they are looking to go
shorter? In this climate, who knows....
