It is definitely a downgrade in terms of the overall design. I still kind of like it though. The podium looks good in my opinion, as long as they don't downgrade again during construction and install grey, black and white precast concrete panels it will be a win. 

I do hate that they increased the height and kept the rectangular footprint for the tower. I would have prefered a square footprint with 30+ floors. Square footprint buildings just look better in my opinion. 

Since this is in uptown it will never be built so I don't care that much.

Waterloo city staff prefer the opposite, and push developers towards wider shorter towers. I believe neighbourhood surveys always say height is the thing people dislike the most.
