i don't have definite answers to these questions; i keep waivering back and forth.

Its not an earth shattering inovation of design like the other buildings you mentioned; however, this building is pretty remarkable in its concrete structure (it will be tallest in the city, upon completion) and its contextualism is a strong design statement in a building of this size.
I think this building will be among the elite upon completion, but I feel CS will steel all the thunder away from this one.
