Yeah but 49 (or 47 or whatever) floors is pretty darn tall- this will be one of the tallest mixed use buildings in western canada...
The shadowing bylaw has its downside (I will be the first to admit that I would have loved to see a 1000' Bow Tower) but overall Calgary's downtown building height restrictions are among the most permissive in Canada. Compare to Ottawa, or even Vancouver...difficult to impossible to get buildings this height in those cities.
