I agree that this type of building greenery is more suited to more tropical climates.

A lot of greenery and beautification seems geared to the warmer months, regardless of whether a place is in the mid latitudes or tropical climates.
From the renders shown so far, the deciduous trees will look more like brambles and with a wiry branch look moreso than sticks, if the density of the trees and shrubs planted is great enough.
Evergreen trees will retain greenery throughout the year, so that can alleviate some of the issue of all the trees looking "dead" during the colder season in winter and early spring.
Regardless of that, the greenery and terraces were likely added in response to current desires from tenants for more open green space, so they are probably aware of the need to make those green spaces look lively throughout the year (including incorporating evergreen species into the types of trees and shrubs planted in these green spaces).
