I think it can strike a balance. Using brick, precast concrete ornamentation, or metal panels in place of rectangle square concrete Lego blocks, glass spandrel is a very minimal cost. Darko just doesn't give a shit. You think that if Darko could make this 70 storeys tall he would care about what the building looks like? I can gaurantee he won't. Core Urban finds the locations that work with their finished, and even builds shorter than the as of right density. If Core Urban can do it, Darko could too, he doesn't want to.
That being said, they are definitely doing shoring work here.
