I believe the thinking is that the top floors pay higher rents, so get as much floorspace as possible higher up. But it is the exact opposite philosophy to the Shard and towers with setbacks, which try to let as much light into the surrounding streets as possible.

I'm just thankful they knocked the old tower down. I'm now kind of curious to see this built, just to see who turns out to be right...
