Oh that's easy. Do you want an extension? Then approve the building.
There, that was easy.
I believe the tower will also be officially taller than the Sears Tower, because you can't count the TV antenna on top of the Sears into the total height. Isn't the roof height of the Sears Tower at 1451 feet?
A 1500' tower will trump it.
So technically (at least for a while if we build now)... Philadelphia will regain the title of having the tallest building in America.
