I'm not sure what you mean. I think this area is very high density by any standards. I'm not sure if anyone has done the calculations or rankings, but according to media reports, it's one of the most dense neighbourhoods in Western Canada. There are 8,000 people living in a 231-acre area.

And I would think it has gradually become more dense since the 1990s, although there haven't been any new towers built in the area since the 80s. Still, there have been a number of new 3-5 story buildings replacing vacant lots or single family dwellings in this area. This has definitely kept the density up.
