A building's height is such an arbitrary thing to obsess over. I've never understood why people on this site put such little emphasis on a building's design and maximum emphasis on a building's height. So strange.
I remember when I was a kid, being seriously bummed out when the Petronas Towers stole our title of WTB. Ever since then, I've cared very little about a building's height. Unless we soon build something taller than 3,000 feet, I'll continue not caring.

No, it's not all the same.
Some locations need the vertical reach to make a grand visual impact.
If this was a mid-block project perhaps, but is at the confluence of the branches of the river and is visually important.
People here don't put such little emphasis on design. Where the hell have you been?
Feel free not to care about height, but from many of your responses, you're not necessarily visually observant when it comes to location impact.
With this being at the spot where Franklin/Orleans jog, a better vertical exclamation is warranted.
