They can do better than this...blank walls? And I also agree with whomever said diagrid bracing would look better than weirdly shaped ovals and circles on the other wall(the one we have not seen good renders of).
There's a huge surface parking lot directly to west of this, literally less than 50 feet, on the blank wall side. The rate at which this stretch of 5th is sprouting towers, I would expect a serious proposal for that lot before this building is finished.
