It's what happens when places are investments, meant to be inoffensive for a broad addressable market. If a house or apartment were made for a rich person to actually live in instead of flipping, it could be more personal. https://medium.com/message/the-american-room-3fce9b2b98c5 (discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8109595)

If it's an investment anyways, then there's no harm in giving it some artistic flair to give investors something additional to speculate about. I find it far more likely that foreign CEOs are just using it for their the couple weeks a year they spend in NYC when they visit their NYC office.
