As I've said before, its the angle. The closer to the shoreline you get, the bigger the gap is between the towers closest to it, and those further back. Just look at tower 4, which is a couple of hunderd feet taller than the WFC. If the rendering had been done from the air, you'd get a more accurate depiction of the height.
