I guess that's possible, but it's hard to say because there's no clear chain of cause-and-effect.
It's worth noting that Crescent Heights built NEMA, the city's tallest residential tower, so they are not afraid to push the limits on height when they are allowed to do so. NEMA was originally proposed at 829' and actually increased to 909' when it was eventually completed.
