IDK if its just the angle, but looking at other photos, come to think about it, its not perfectly centered. Not that I have OCD, but I wonder it was maybe to give the illusion that the spire is taller than it really is (when viewing it from certain angles).
On a side note, NY Times tower probally looks better without a spire. Sticking a spire that is just 2' thick Home Depot plumbing pipes elongated 300' is not a spire. BOA, now that's a spire. NY Times, eh... not so much. Yet its a super tall!
