I think Hadid's is the most straightforward of the group. There's nothing really fantastic about the floorplates, despite initial outward appearances, and it doesn't have any of the "fantastical" skygardens the other towers have, at least not visibly. It's pretty much just a tower on a base, but it's that connection with the base, as well as the facade that makes it stand out.
