I think the very earliest renderings had those panels but they disappeared long before the building was converted to all apartments. Probably an early cost cutting measure.
Also, what hasn't shown up in a rendering yet but I am really interested to see as it develops is the sloping diagonal glass on the two ends appears that it will not have the metal spandrel panels. On that first completed floor I am seeing full height glass with an white back pan that slopes down away from the glass.
