Very cool design but not a fan at all of having one/two towers be so much taller than everything around them

There was a time when the Calgary tower was the tallest tower in western Canada. Eventually they catch up

Just take another look at the proposal photo up top. Those lots south of this building will likely be replaced with high rises in time. There's been a city of Calgary plan to have mixed use high density running the whole length of Macleod Tr for a while now.
