Building a highrise tower in that location as way to extend 9th ave into 17th ave is 100% the wrong way to do it, and in fact will help ruin any chances of that becoming a decent strip.

For example, this site will be on the dedicated late BRT line what is currently under construction.
Personally, I think extending development of 9th avenue all the way through to 17th avenue is a strategic aim that is needed for the city, and leveraging restaurants, entertainment and services all along that stretch starting right from downtown is a solid play that makes urban planning sense, especially for 17th Ave.
