The only other Canadian building with that honor? Winnipeg's MTS Centre. Now that's the building and city you want to emulate!

The green line is supposed to go immediately alongside this parcel of land.

And "Update (February 2017): The Beltline alignment is still under evaluation. Visit
this blog post for more information." sure sounds like "we may rearrange this to accommodate an arena". Especially considering one of the alternatives under evaluation in that blog post is an underground section right at this parcel of land.
edit: missed the entire last page of posting when I replied to this hanging curveball!
