It's 10 floors shorter and 1 bay wider than the 715' version.

However, the PD was approved for 685' so there's a slight possibility that that's what we'll get.
So, the 715 foot version was reduced to 576 ~ 685 not because of a reduction in rooms (still 1200) or because of difficulty in getting zoning, but rather just because of VE'ing, basically? Just like the design itself was VE'd.
