That grid is also what makes the Manhattan streetwall, and the resulting canyons. It's why the language is written into the zoning and anything outside of it requires public review,
which can be risky (see the Tower Verre).
But at least here, while the lower portion always looked to work into that grid, Childs has more Freedom to work the design. He's cut loose with so many variations already.
But also remember he's working for Related, and Stephen Ross will live at the top of this tower. Related's home offices will also be here.

Related updates its website for the project with renderings. This is the
current view of the project (minus 50 HY and the western half of the railyards).
