Are we to assume the Gensler designs are dead now? Of course they were the one Gensler design that looked promising (even if they were a derivatively modern idiom)...
Hard to say, but it does seem like Vista is consistently leaning on its long-standing relationship with Antunovich.
Great photos. I live very close to this and have stared at it many of times during the construction.
The floor heights can be a bit funky which is interesting. When I get home I can count which floors, but certain floors seem to be slightly higher randomly. I'm not sure if there are mechanical elements that would dictate this. I think it was on the 9th residential floor that seemed to be roughly a foot or so higher. Obviously the top 3-4 floors the floor heights are much higher but I'm curious about the random 2 or 3 floors throughout the building that seem to have a slightly larger floor height.

Looks like you are right. Residential floors 9 and 17 both appear slightly taller and even have slightly different windows due to the height increase.
^ Yeah, definitely variable floor heights here-- 400 LSD and 1000M have even crazier floor height differences, super noticeable up close.
On those towers, the taller ones seem to line up with amenities (terraces, etc) or mechanical floors, but I could also imagine specific floors being designated for large luxury units with extra ceiling height as a selling point. Like a penthouse unit without being at the tippy top. Unless there's some other reason? I can't imagine they'd make the decision to order a few odd nonstandard windows unless there was a motivator for that extra cost.
