I also wish they'd add 5-10 storeys to it. Definitely a case where a taller building would look better, since it's on a large 4 storey podium.
The corner itself is strange because it feels like it is at the "entrance" to the downtown but it's also at the edge of the downtown. This spot gets a decent amount of pedestrian traffic but it's nothing like the south end of the block.

This site is also restricted by the parade square height inside the fort; so I'm wondering if they could add much more too it?
If they could; then I would say yeah go for it - but considering the height amendment needed - who knows how it will go.
