The proposed building looks to be about 400-450 ft. I doubt the existing building is more than 200 ft.

The proposal would be for 7 floors of office and meeting space, topped by 25 floors of condos. Given the height of higher end new construction these days, that would be pretty tall.

I have been in the existing building, and thought it was in poor condition. It looks good from the outside but interior is a mess. It's currently older office space above the Trinity Church offices.

Though I don't quite get the zoning here. One would think you could build taller than 400-450 ft. on this lot. Who knows; maybe there aren't air rights available.
