Number 2, it seems the majority of windows are N or S and not overlooking Millennium Park, which would seem to be the draw.
They made it that way so all units would have views of the park, albeit at an angle.
One of the main reasons it's designed and positioned this way is so that it doesn't seem to be some hulking blob of a building like 55 E. Monroe and CNA. It's sleek, narrow and elegant so that it helps to take away some of the squatness of those two buildings as well.
