Two more stumps under 30 floors

When the city wont even permit an office tower to have 40 stories, these two are cut before even reaching 30 floors.

They would be impressive in Victoria, Kelowna, Kamloops or Prince George. Not in Calgary or Seattle, Toronto or Montreal. That's how it goes for little scenic Vancouver. Fortunately, scenic cities like Auckland, Sydney & SF allow taller office towers than Vancouver & they are still just as scenic as ever.


Another lost potential of the cities first 50 story office tower. It wont even be permitted to have a 40th floor.

The more red tape & B$ that Vancouver can impose or mandate, the better the chance of holding the city back.
