I think the main advantage to the setbacks is that they cut down on the shadows cast by the upper floors onto the street. Not sure what the shadow study for this one was like but I bet the whole street is shaded in winter by the lower floors. In summer, setbacks along the southern side probably do help.

Hopefully the Margaretta will be started soon too, filling the last big hole in this part of town.
