If I recall correctly, the City forced them to chop-off a floor before being granted the development permit. One of the most arbitrary decisions of this sort I've ever seen - the rationale was that Cressey didn't conduct "adequate" consultation during the rezoning process. I can't look at the building now without getting mad about that.

So presumably the renderings were made before the City stuck its nose in, and they didn't want to re-do them.
