Plus, we have an office tower under construction with 3 more over 100 meters that are proposed (750 Peel, QdS Tower and 900 de Maisonneuve)... The future is looking good for our downtown.
Besides, I would rather have a large and dense downtown with two 200m+ towers and a dozen 130m+ towers, than have two 250m+ towers and a few small towers, like Charlotte or Cleveland...

Both Charlotte and Cleveland have some amazing pomo towers. It may not be dense but I find Charlotte's to be one of the nicest skylines aesthetically speaking.
