I think a quick check on the building's plan will resolve this.

Good call because, for the record…

I’m not a physics expert, but if the top of the core is already taller than 1 BE, how come the shadow shows that it's still lower? Can a shadow from a building across the street be distorted by perspectives so that it actually appears lower than the actual height?

This is nonsense. You would need to have knowingly photographed precisely when the sun lies in the same horizontal plane as the roof surface, thus casting a shadow up to an equal elevation on the background, normal surface. Even then, several sources of error (from more complex physics) make this a poor approximation.
