This isn't the only downtown high rise that is rising about this height. There are quite a few others. While other cities will build one huge, 60 or 70 story high rise, St. Louis appears to have in its plans, a variety of shorter high rises, to artistically balance the skyline with the Arch. Although nothing is set in stone, it seems to be a subconscious perception that nothing should be taller than the Arch.

Still, there have been proposals that would come very close. Some of those proposals are still on the line, such as the MW Tower.
