Will they be paying royalties to the architect of The Hearst Tower?

Looks lovely but it does look like a taller version of the Hearst Tower.

We'd be greatful if it turns out as beautiful as the Hearst Tower, but the similarities only go so far.

It's an angled top.

Is the building still a square base? The slanted roof is giving me a perception that the building has a different shape O.o

I think that's just the perspective of the rendering. The north side does have a slanted roof.

I'm not understanding the angle.

Am I looking at it wrong, or is it that somewhat like 200 Greenwich, with the architect taking an angular slice starting at a corner?

I'd really like to see a bird's eye view or something that will clear this up.

I'm not sure what you mean, but there is a slice off the northern side if you can understand it that way.

They're wondering if it's cut from the corner of the building or from the side. From the rendering it appears the angle could come from the corner, but so little of the angled part is shown so it is hard to tell.
