I was at the original planning meeting where this building was presented at 60 stories. From what I remember, there were no major complaints about height from people in attendance including councillors. There were actually people advocating for the height/density. No fighting tooth and nail. I know that idea fits the general narrative around these parts but it didn't happen (unless there were complaints behind the scenes). The bigger issue from the standpoint of the public was 6-7 floors of above ground parking, which is entirely reasonable to me.
