The local standard is pretty low so that isn't saying much... The wind effect off this structure will be something to behold... especially in that alley they are creating. 

Push the tower inside of the podium by several feet on all sides to avoid that. Then while at it eliminate the entire portion of the tower to the left of the curtain wall section, wrap that curtain wall around that corner, add 10 stories, move parking entrance off Caroline and into the alley, use that space to animate Caroline by putting town-homes/commercial along there, reduce parking space in the process, sell parking as a $20,000 extra as 100 Victoria is doing and assure multiple commercial units (not one megalithic one) are created along King. 

Then, this would be not only the "most beautiful" in the Region but be contender for a great modern high-rise anywhere.
