Amazon's The Post office complex in Vancouver on track for 2023 completion

In stead of a couple of nice 55 story office towers, its just a couple of stumps that aren't even 25 floors. Almost everything in Vancouver continues to be watered down.

Calgary is able to plan things on a grander scale, simply because they aren't bound by Vancouver type limitations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suncor_Energy_Centre "The Suncor Energy Centre,[5] formerly the Petro-Canada Centre, is a 181,000-square-metre (1,950,000 sq ft) project composed of two granite and reflective glass-clad office towers of 32 floors and 52 floors, situated in the office core of downtown CalgaryAlberta."

It was as if this complex was designed to show what a Vancouver stump looks like next to a Calgary office tower.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bankers_Hall "Bankers Hall is a building complex located in downtown CalgaryAlberta, which includes twin 52-storey office towers (197 metres high)..."

Just think as to how unimpressive a couple of 26 story Vancouver stumps were there in its place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_National_Plaza The 52 story complex opened in 1971 & 72. Of course LA doesn't have to water things down to meet little Vancouver standards, so no 26 story stumps on that block. This was meant to be on a grand scale right from the start.
