But that gap to the right of the Radisson...

The gap is more than a skyline gap, there is a growing physical disconnect between the parts of downtown. You have the Convention Centre/MTS Centre cluster with a lot of activity, and of course the Portage and Main cluster with a lot of activity. The gap in between is mostly small, old, somewhat underused buildings and a bunch of parking. Walking down Portage or Graham from, say, Fort to Smith is a pretty sad looking sight.

The effect has become more pronounced in recent years with all the development in the RBCCC and P&M clusters.
