Is that space supposed to be something? could make a cool rooftop club or restaurant with all that going on overhead. But I'm guessing there's probably exec suites with a rooftop garden.
It is actually going to be 6 stories. Here is a quote from the Architect.

When viewed from a distance, especially at night, the building will look as if it has been "carved, almost like a sculpture," Duda said.
The top of the building will be a folded plane constructed entirely from translucent glass and lit from within, to give it a glow that will be visible for miles.
