I see where you're coming from Urban, but my thought on it all is that there are many more ample sites around DT and MT that are more suitable for a mid-rise residential project than here. I'm more concerned with the site rather than the project. Meaning, that in my opinion that site is key for a large catalyst project and deserves nothing less. Skyscraper or not, an 800J-ish type development there would be a huge opportunity lost (as opposed to what that site could dictate) and somewhat out of place. Again, just my personal opinion.
