The issue raised is whether the City would treat residential different from office or hotel use. There are a number of office towers close to each other (i.e. on Dunsmuir) and a few hotel towers close to each other (Coast Hotel being the most recent).
The Dept of Justice office tower on Melville is right next to the Orca Place condo. That site was originally slated to be a hotel, but was changed to an office tower.
The Telus condo will also back onto the old William Farrell Building (although that's largely a blank wall).
I think Jameson / Credit Suisse would be the tallest example of such close proximity.
