Another one guilty of this is the Rexall a few blocks west on 108 st.
I drove by Enterprise Square today and it looks like they've started removing it all!

Nah, AGA is a block north on 102A Ave, and the view is blocked from there by Chancery Hall & Century Place.

Tower B is on hold, but the podium should be going soon-ish.
