That always happens with plain glass buildings. All the glass blends together to form one "solid" rectangular shape, so there's nothing to relate it to human scale to give it any sense of actual height. With buildings in which you can clearly delineate the windows (art deco or neo-gothic for example) you get a sense of scale and the buildings in those architectural styles always appear taller than all glass buildings of a similar shape.
