Yeah, 500 West 2nd Street is still too wide for my tastes, but the design details will be interesting at least. Not a fan of the roof, though.

Yeah, that part sticking out seems random. One example of a project that did one of those wings the right way was the original plan for the 21C Hotel. That's what I wish they had done here.
I also see few options here for any kind of interesting decorative lighting other than outlining the building's edges.
Here's the original 21C Hotel design. It had a wing also, but it worked better I think. Not to mention it slimmed up the tower. This thing was planned to be 580 feet with 44 floors.
