If you're curious about the conventions of architectural drawing I'd advise you to go pick up a copy of
Architectural Graphics by Francis Ching. The practice of drawing buildings in 2-point perspective has been around since the Renaissance.
The distortion in the above image is entirely because it's a tall building, and the architects chose to do one image that both shows the buidling from street
and shows the entire height of the building. Have a look at the renderings for
140 SW Columbia. All of the renderings are either drawn from mid-way up the building or are drawn from the ground level and cropped a few stories up. If they'd chosen to portray the entire height of the building in the renderings done from ground level you'd see the same effect.
