That said, considering that the site sat empty for nearly 40 years I'm grateful that anything is getting built there period, let alone a new tallest.

They might have had Cargill in there instead of Cargill building its nondescript building on Graham. I don’t know what TD would then have done with the TD-Childs-Nanton corner. Maybe built something smaller, which might have been better especially if the Childs Building could have been incorporated into it. Probably some of those other smaller mirror-glass c. 1990 office buildings along Graham would never have been built as well.
