Although The Solaire is somewhat different. His mid rises tend to look different, but skyscrapers all share a similar trait.

Salesforce, Costanera, and 30 Hudson (Jersey City) are very similar. 15 Penn looks like a shorter, and fatter version of the International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong which is by KPF.

I think Pelli copied KPF or at least draws influence from their ICC in Hong Kong.
