That all makes sense, and the plan was a good one for Cherry Creek North - I think the development there has been of very high quality.
I do wonder whether a fresh look might make sense if and when the west side of Cherry Creek Mall gets re-developed. That area in particular seems suitable for greater height than what's in Cherry Creek North & 1st Avenue.
