I could be wrong, but I think the idea was to have the lower half line up with the wall of the Gainsborough, and the upper half line up with the midcentury modernist building on the other side, which is set back slightly in a weird little redundant plaza facing the park. Definitely not the way I would’ve done it either—I would have had the whole facade rise up flush with the front of the Gainsborough and then clad the side wall facing the plaza, rather than leaving it up to the owner of the Gainsborough to clean up the wall of their building (although they probably will eventually, as other forumers have said).
Otherwise, though, I agree—overall, this tower is an absolute stunner.
