That is a thought I have often shared. One or two like the Key Bank Tower are great as an example of the era, but I wouldn't want a skyline full of them. Though, some pretty cool reclads have been accomplished, like the Zion's Bank redo. Also, the remake of the street engagement on Key Bank went a long way in improving the base.

I agree with Comrade about the Westgate Tower. In fact, I wouldn't even mind a similar but taller version being built again.

One positive I am willing to take from the lack of true height in Salt Lake's downtown is that if a future, taller skyscraper building boom does come to Salt Lake, there is a chance that we could have a much more aesthetically pleasing skyline than a lot of other mid-sized cities in the U.S. by virtue of not being so dominated by boxy 60s and 70s architecture.
