And again, I believe that prestige is as much to do with it as profitability. There weren't any 60+ proposals in the 2016-era Metrotown boom, and that area is twice as desirable as Lougheed will ever be.

For an egregious example, CN Tower is definitely not as high as it is because of the "bottom line." They didn't want a communications tower, they wanted the biggest one. Same principle.
