A common feature of exaggeration seems to be façade depth. Substantial depth is really what makes a building "pop" architecturally, and developers need to stop being so sneaky/more realistic with their renderings in that regard so there's a much better sense of how a building will appear in real life, and not only on the CG world of social media.

All of the marble cladding is missing too, replaced with dark gray brick which just looks bad, almost like old bricked up windows. All of the subtle brickwork patterns didn't seem to happen, leaving the cornice area particularly flat. A big part of the window depth is the balconies that were in the rendering but also scrapped. Hopefully the buyers are expecting that..
