I've also never noticed it swaying.

I bet most tall towers sway a bit, and are designed to do so. Though from the top, I couldn't feel it swaying.

I doubt a photo would be able to capture the level of sway that happens. The effect I captured in the photo I think is due to the subtle concave angle of the sides, accentuated by the angle of the photo.

I looked up about the give buildings like this have and it isn’t much. 1-3 feet at the very top. I doubt it’s perceptible but I don’t doubt your brain tricks you into seeing it seem as though it is swaying
