'Soul' doesn't materially improve my life.
I would rather live in a soulless 5-over-1 and pay less rent than a soulful building and pay more rent. The buildings in the OP look fine.

The people who whine about American cities being 'soulless' also whine when they make mixed-use infill development to improve walkability because they don't like the architecture or something.
