305m with the lighting rods.
@Contra did u get those renders from the SPA application or did you edit the picture yourself?

^ Ah okay , well we will have to wait and see what the final height will be. I'll personally be happy if the end product is over 260m (without the rods) , as that would be a tall tower and still make a big statement on the skyline.
 
246 metres to the top of the roof, 258 to the top of the structure, 304 to the top of the lightning rod.

Like: How the top is resolved.

Dislike: Looks like they took the colour out of the outward facing facets of the core:

That's a minor change that translates into such a major step back in terms of aesthetic impact.

Sorry to everyone jumping up and down at the 304-metre number for the spire. We're going with 258 metres for our database as the top of the structure.
 
That box on the spire will inevitably be a logo which is kinda a bummer. I suppose it will be illuminated though which could be cool.
 
So it shrinks yet again! Now down to 258m, still a solid height. But in this rendition they chopped another 50ft off. Too bad :(

It doesn't matter anyway as they have no tenants, could be many years before its built if at all. All fantasy land in the same boat as Union Centre and CC3.

Correction: they have no publicly announced tenants
 
A scrolling LED display would be kind of neat though. You can animate the logo with that.

Might as well eh? Would love for some more expressive lighting in the city - Salesforce Tower in SF, for example, has done a great job of that I think.
