If the primary residential occupants of this tower fall under the "affordable housing candidate" category, then IMO there's no sense in making this look like a vertical interpretation of the Taj Mahal.
So in a way, yes: I'm suggesting that the earning level of tenants in this building has at least something to do with it. By extrapolation, it could be said that the frills we see in this tower are a nod to the status of Nordstrom's. After all, what corporate entity doesn't actually want its center of operations to look the part?

Is it official that there is affordable housing in this tower? Otherwise, your argument seems specious.
