Sloping columns put some extra loads on the floors, so as long as these loads are taken into account when designing, there is no issue.

This incline is big enough that it should have been noticed during construction. The fact that they built over a dozen floors above it means it's intentional.

Yeah the extended balcony/floor also lead me to believe it's intentional
