My thinking is they grabbed the incorrect height of 546 feet for the Marriott Rivercenter that's been floating around the internet. I have never trusted that height since I started diving into researching building heights. I wish it was that tall. Even the rendering of the Marriott Rivercenter in that rendering seems strange. Look at how high that first setback is vs the actual photo above that JackinBeantown posted. The rendering seems to show that first setback higher than it actually appears. In that rendering it even shows the setback being higher than the Marriott Riverwalk to the right. But when you view the photo Jack posted, the setback is clearly lower than the roof of the Marriott Riverwalk. In the photo Jack posted, the Marriott Riverwalk shows up between Weston Centre and the Grand Hyatt.
