I guess it's ok....something a bit more interesting would be cool but I don't have the brief. If it's supposed to sort of blend in with the commercial buildings then the lean is ok

Now if it also leans into a howling southerly then the architect could be onto something

By building it leaning to the north it will blend in with the trees in a howling southerly :P

We will call the tower 'floppy cock syndrome' , what angle dose the tower dangle in a stiff breeze!
