I suspect this is real. When permits and such are being contemplated, that's a good sign.

That being said, maybe they include and extra few feet. I cannot remember what the permits were for the Mutual Tower building & crane, but that should give us a definitive answer.
I have seen developers in Kansas City ask the FAA for very generous height permissions compared to what is actually planned.

I used this:

Searching region ACE (Central) for 2023, I found that there appear to have been two sets of permits filed for the Mutual Tower, though not the crane. The first set, filed 9/14/2023, lists the building height as the announced 677 ft. The second set, filed 11/13/2023, makes an addendum to say that a maintenance facility on top of the previously submitted permits will actually bring the height to 688 ft. So it looks like the Mutual tower may actually be a few feet taller than we expected!

Apologies if this has been posted already, but I pulled this from the CIP. This seems to provide a different sense of scale of the Project Health Tower, and seems to at least double the height of the cancer research tower and the Durham Research towers.

I like the looks of it while one would be riding up Farnam on the streetcar, to have perhaps a shadow-producing tower hovering over the streetscape, and also provide a sort of bookend to the towers downtown that would be flanking the line at both ends, sort of.

I feel like they've been preparing the site forever. Are there any signs of a crane or building materials as of yet?

Also, I believe that rendering is old - the most recent renderings cut off the top, but apparently it's still expected to be nearly 400ft.

Weren't those concrete foundation walls built? Doesn't that take time?

Yep, there has been a ton of movement at the foundation level.
