That's what I would like to see too. The new tower would presumably occupy the SW end of the podium (Robson & Howe) or at least presumably be oriented there (or would it be better square onto Robson? Ideas, please)

And while keeping the TD building rather at the other end, this new tower could be a real signature tower; part of the definition of the city centre, hopefully tall (600 ft+ ?) and very sensitive to its architectural context and immediate surroundings, and very elegant.
