  • Street levelPublic facilities and institutions
  • Above the southern skylineFrom about floor 56 — the tallest thing within 60 m to the south is 165.3 m
Drawn from the outline and roof height the Department of City Planning publishes for this building: 14.6 m over 2 floors, as the city counts them. 1 run of floors has something on record. The city publishes a roof height and a storey count for the lot, and nothing at all about any individual floor. What stands to the south is measured from the city’s own footprints and roof heights; it is a statement about the skyline, not a calculation of sunlight.
