You're right that the park is pretty full -- this was actually my initial response. Also, there's a two phase "reimagining" plan that I thought was about to kick off relatively soon. Not sure how this all fits together yet.
Perhaps Brush Square Park should be renamed Clutter Drawer Square Park.
New and more detailed elevations were added to the site plan. The previous elevations dated July are still included in the site plan, but these new ones are dated 01/25/22. So we'll go with those for the height. It's still 37-stories, but it gained 21' and is now 473'.
This will bring some good height to the otherwise fairly low rise NE corner of the convention center. Will complement the Hilton there nicely being about 100ft taller.
Edit: their ≠ there, my brain isn't awake enough yet
I was thinking about how this'll look from 35 this morning. Given that it's quite a bit taller than the Hilton it's going to have a pretty significant presence.

This looks like a complete redesign vs the previous render, no? That one had sharp angles a la 5th and West, this looks to have curved glass? If so this could be pretty cool.
the fact this only has 3 levels of above ground parking is enough reason to celebrate this one
Agreed. Though the footprint of it from these drawings makes me think (quite confidently) that it will have absolutely no street-level interaction outside of a lobby entrance.
