I expect this part of the city to see out-of-character height being proposed in the coming decade. And there will be a lot of support for such proposals. I suspect people who support Citadel protections are totally fine with developers going all out with height outside of the downtown. The only opposition will be from NIMBYs in the nearby low-density residential neighbourhoods -- but even those areas are seeing low and mid-rise developments.
What northern region are you referring to? There were a couple of small highrises recently built near North and Gladstone, but other than that I have no idea...
