The tower itself is set back from Main further than 360 Main. Not as bulky as 360 (or the original tower for the 300 site shown in the 1970s concept plan), which I like. More elegant.

Also, the 1913 recession ended Winnipeg's run at the head of Canada's tall building pack, and I don't think we're about to catch up any time soon. But that bothers me about as much as a resident of Austin or Nashville is bothered their respective city doesn't have any buildings taller than 200 metres. That is to say, not at all.
Continuing to see smaller/shorter projects that redevelop underbuilt sites (apartments going up on Roslyn Rd behind Safeway) or giant historic craters (True North Square) is just fine with me. You might not be able to see this change while driving into Winnipeg on McPhillips, or even from the postcard spot on Tache, but you sure can see it when you're walking around the city.
