As of 2022, Vancouver's-tallest-office-building will a little taller than the 3rd tallest building in the Toronto-Dominion_Centre's,_TD_Waterhouse_Tower.
The shortest office tower in the TD_complex isn't even 25 stories, but it would still rival any office building in provincial backwater Victoria,_British_Columbia.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/Bow_Valley_Square.JPGhttps://upload.wikimedia.org/TD_Tower_Vancouver.jpg Of course the TD Tower in Vancouver wasn't allowed to have a 50th, 40th or even a 35th floor. Thus, it just became another 30 story stump, by Toronto, Calgary & Seattle standards. Back in 1972, the
TD_Tower_(Vancouver) was the first office building in BC to have at least 30 stories. In 2022, no office tower in BC has been permitted to have a 40th floor. Although Vancouver has a lot of little buildings, no Vancouver office tower has been allowed to rival the two tallest office towers
in_Auckland.
Victoria won't permit any office building to have a 20th floor. So far, no office building in Victoria or anywhere on Vancouver Island can be as tall as
95-Wellington-St-W-in_Toronto-ON and that building is a stump by Toronto standards. Victoria might be almost as scenic as Wellington, NZ, but Victoria won't permit its office buildings to rival the
tallest_buildings_in_Wellington.
Of course
Wellington is a national capital, whereas
Victoria is a provincial backwater capital. Unlike BC, NZ doesn't use its scenic setting as an excuse to hold back the scale of its buildings.
