I wouldn't be suprised to see the other buildings change again right before construction starts. The building to the left of the residential tower looks like the design of the twin towers with the lite boxes on top that they released in 1012. My thinking is the final design will mirror the current market trend depending on if its residential, office or hotel. since the building on the right was redesigned, then I think each building will go through a similar process right before they begin construction. Judging by the end result, we could see some pretty dense towers.
There is no doubt that the tower going up is the better choice. Its one thing to have a uniquely designed tower, its another to have an afterthought of bold design on a stubby tower on top of a huge, and I mean HUGE square platform. Its hideous and I agree with Syndic that it would just look awkward. They simply did a much better job with the base and having 6 levels of residential around the pool not only utilizes that space better than the 2010 design, it is visually appealing.
