It wouldn't surprise me if they just started out wanting something higher than Vanderbilt. If it's within reach why not? That was the spirit of so many of the great tallest in the city
from the early part of last century.

I at least see this tower as an equal to One Vanderbilt, a sibling. Both will be connected to the very heart of the city and it's transit system. So will the Chase tower, but less so.

Those concepts from a few years ago, this on from SOM is almost indicative of what is taking shape. Remove the giant ring, and you've got it.
