I would just j**z if they decided they would build this ... but I fear it might be kind of a conceptual working drawing where further adjustments, mainly just regarding appearance, might ultimately be made to reduce the seeming precariousness (in the public's eye) of the cantilever. In other words, enough renters might be spooked by the "tipsy" look that they might decide to widen the "neck" portion - kind of how one of the other 111 Wackers (i.e. 111 South Wacker) had the same thing dumbed down during the design process (admittedly that was due to terror fears in 2001, but at 111 West it will be harder to convince individual renters of safeness than it was to convince a small number of office-tenant representatives at 111 South).

Fortunately 111 East Wacker isn't involved here, avoiding further confusion, lol.
