Two of the things I like very much about the entire WP development are:
1) that the three towers extend their massing straight up from ground level without visible podiums (yes the small amenity structure at WPW has two sides visible but it is relatively innocuous.)
2) that all three towers reach the edge of their respective placements. WPW fronts directly at the river adding to the canyon effect on that side.WPE creates a street wall along Wolf Point Plaza and meets the corner at N. Orleans street. And lastly WPS extends out to the end of the point.
This helps the surrounding urban fabric and is much better than if the towers were set back towards the middle. Maybe the 'view corredor' rights of the Apparel Mart played a role but that is all the better imo.
