You have Southfield only a couple miles away with taller buildings among low-rise development so it's still not that unusual. It'd be easier to argue that D Tow(n)er doesn't architecturally jive with the surrounding area or at the very least, the downtown area of Old Redford being the ultra modern design that it is. Though even then, the area is mostly post-war bungalows and ranches that are like a dime in a dozen for most of the city.
