I couldn’t find a top down rendering in the Chronicle so I did some digging.
I have to say I much prefer Foster’s original design because of the taper.

High Res Images from their official site. Interesting to see that they have an opening date of 2031 already listed which hints that they may be close to securing an anchor tenant.
