Context matters. It's surrounded by much taller buildings (for now), so it doesn't look that tall. If this was located, say, on Parliament, it would already look massive. I was in Montreal recently and one of the condos under construction downtown (900 St Jacques) looked gigantic even though it will only top out at 200m (and probably a few meters shy of that now). By the way, that's the height limit in Montreal (exceptions could be made for spires) to protect views of "The Mountain".

...yeah, Montreal is pretty stumpy city for its size. So anything above 200 m mark must look like The Burj Khalifa there.

Height restrictions. All the recently built or U/C condos are at 200 m (Maestría, Victoria sur le Parc, 900 St Jacques etc). In 10 years it will look like the Entertainment District (with better architecture though).
 
Montreal is derived from "Mount Royal". The maximum downtown height restriction is no higher than Mount Royal which creates some maximum heigh variance depending the building's location. Of course there are other lower height restrictions based on other planning aspects.
 
But every time I see a drone shot of the top of this building, I can't unsee this...
