Still a bit frustrating but much less so than being denied a supertall by two meters!
That building looks schizophrenic. It looks like Toronto couldn't decide if it wanted a tower or an office building so it tried to get both. Bizarre.
A similar, (albeit much shorter) version actually got built in Vancouver a few years later:

They probably wanted a observaion since it was sooo close to a supertall. But wait thats why they have the CN tower!
But really I really hope this doesn't get built.
