The previous design definitely would have been a stunning landmark, assuming it wouldn't be clad in sea-foam green. Though, you can definitely understand why it was shot down. It's... architecturally daring!
Also, a building like that deserves to be taller, 800+ feet.
You'd also assume it would be a lot more expensive to build, so if the city didn't shoot it down, the developer probably would have eventually, in the recent economic climate.
Box is cheaper.
