Quick photoshop job (The angle and scale are definitely off, just to get a general sense of size for this thing...)

How did they manage to come back with a proposal that's somehow even more overbearing then the last one

It looks like a giant blob. The podium is even worse than the last. It’s like they took all the negative feedback for how monolithic and hostile the last one was and decided to beef it up even more. I’d take the tallest and nothing else. Does it even have any heritage buildings retained, or even facades? This looks like they’re dynamiting the entire block.

Go home Triovest, you're drunk. The City of Calgary should purchase that entire block and take it out of the private sector's hands. It is a national historic district, restored with taxpayers dollars, the only block downtown with any sort of vitality and life to it and we are literally the only Canadian city dumb enough to allow private sector ownership of an asset like that and are just keeping our fingers crossed they don't screw it up. Buy the land, have CMLC restore the buildings along 7th and activate the alley, create a true gem in downtown Calgary that will last generations.
