Preliminary iterations of OMP had more vertical separation between the various set backs, and thus had more elegant massing, but the developer wanted to maximize unit square footage at the top and so we ended up with the clunktacular mess that we got.
It wouldn't have been nearly as severe of an architectural crime if it wasn't located in such a freaking prominent spot, made all the more apparent now by NEMA's far more graceful tapering profile.
