Montreal hasn't "skyscraped" up to 200m since the construction of the IBM Marathon Tower (1250 René Lévesque) and 1000 de la Gauchetière in the early 1990s. It took nearly 30 years - qu'on est patient, les fans de gratte-ciel à Montréal! So this (and the National Bank tower next door are sort-of landmarks in our skyscraper construction history. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, these two towers will instantly become number 2 and number 3 in height in Montreal once completed... no? Or more like 3 and 4, if we include the mast atop 1250.
