They're not identical twins. One is noticeably shorter than the other.

Not trying to call you out specifically, but it's entertaining just how often people here think that tallest, tallest in an obscure category (twin offices?), or some other ego booster is what motivates developers...99% (and speaking as a developer) barely give those things a thought - the number one ego trip element is profit margin (mixed with quality work and happy bank / investors).
An extra foot that costs $$$ is a "who gives a crap" moment for developers, especially if it triggers redesign

Most of the time this is probably true but there are still certainly developers wanting to make a mark some way or another. Tallest twin towers is a pretty good category for that.
