This is the second version of the tower we've seen so far if memory serves correct, and both have been angled (if memory serves correctly, the first had rounded corners sort-of similar to Portland Plaza), so it's pretty obvious they intend to build an angled tower. I like it.
I really like the Unified version of the tower.

It is just Architect Speak, basically it is a way for an architect to sound like they didn't just do something random and that there was a reason for what they did regardless if it is true or not.
Obviously no one is going to notice the position of the building compared to the river, but that is the BS reasoning the architect has given.
