If you notice the stone stops around the height of the surrounding buildings. I assumed it was to make the skyline look cohesive and the top to disappear into the sky.

Also gives the upper floors (most expensive) epic views.

I love that: disappear into the sky, sounds poetic. Except when they blast 300 megawatts lights from the roof top every night.

I knew the lights were an issue for a while - I live nearby - but I thought they fixed that. I thought I heard that was an issue with a sensor or some?

Yeah something along those lines. Basically there’s two kinda of lights for buildings that big. The red evening ones weren’t working and they had these daytime ones on which made it look like a light house at nighht. There’s actually some funny YouTube video/ recordings about pilots being able to see it from a ways away.
