It's quite a different thing, if like most of downtown, they're building wall to wall towers in Coquitlam... but no, the 30-40 storey towers out there sit on very large low-density podiums and landscaping, resulting in FAR ratios equal to less than most mid-rise districts, except with the needless and far greater visual blight due to low-quality of materials/architecture.
