The point stands, though, that it's not like they're putting a tall building at the corner of King and Erb. The character of the street is pretty different at this location.

Yes, it is different: the buildings are much taller south of William.  Bauer Lofts is a block away, 144 Park (and its future cousin) are on the next street, Sun Life is a few blocks further south.  And even Allen Square, Red and Cortes are taller than anything that's around Erb or Bridgeport.  This would fit in nicely.
