A 22 story stump that could have been the cities first 44 story office tower. It actually would have looked pretty cool as a 55 story office tower.
http://www.telusgarden.com/TelusGarden.html
Indeed, a 55 story office tower complemented with a 65 story residential tower.
http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=90197
Its about the same size as the complex in Edmonton, witch is equally small compared to several other developments in Canadian cities today.

The 1914 Seattle Smith Tower

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_Tower 462 ft (141 m)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_Tower#History " Although L.C. Smith did not live to see construction begin, his namesake building was completed in 1914 to a height of 143 m (469 ft) from curbside to the top of the pyramid,^[7] with a pinnacle height of 159 m (522 ft)."

Even a 100 years later, Vancouver & BC made sure that no office building would rival what Seattle had in 1914. No 40 story office tower in Vancouver and no 20 story office stump in Victoria.
