That's the way the classic skyscrapers on the skyline are. That's why it fits so well in the NY skyline. There's no doubt that this building will eventually become an official landmark (years down the line).

Not uncommon for a modernist skyscraper but here I feel like it clashes with the Art Deco homages the building otherwise aims for. Art Deco's all about symmetrical forms!
Hopefully when the cranes and hoist come down though, it will be easier to look past that. I think the facade is an absolute beauty, the way it plays with light!

I think you're overthinking it too much.
