It's distinctive enough from the other buildings in Manhattan, but doesn't take away from the entire skyline.

From the website of the building:
At 870 feet tall, New York by Gehry is the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere and a singular addition to the iconic Manhattan skyline. For his first residential commission in New York City, master architect Frank Gehry has reinterpreted the design language of the classic Manhattan high-rise with undulating waves of stainless steel that reflect the changing light, transforming the appearance of the building throughout the day. Gehry's distinctive aesthetic is carried across the interior residential and amenity spaces with custom furnishings and installations.

I dunno lol. He's the architect, not me. Send him an email and ask him why for he made it that way.

To me it looks like he designed an apartment building, crumpled it up, threw it in the trash, pulled it out of the trash, unfolded it, and liked what he saw with the crumpling
