If the City of Burnaby approves a reworked land use policy tomorrow, that 700 000 sq feet of office space will mean the the developer can add 700 000 sq feet of rental units to the development, assuming they can resubmit an application if they have to.

You're right - if this is 700,000 sq. ft. in one tower, only The Post will be bigger (that's over 1 million sq. ft. in two towers). The Stack on Melville is 620,000 sq. ft. on 36 floors; 1090 W Pender has 564,349 sq. ft. on 31 floors. Bentall 4 and Bentall V were both around 600,000 sq. ft.
We'll have to see what the project actually looks like when details emerge - the 700,000 sq. ft. could be the total commercial including the three storey commercial podium, which would make the office tower floorspace smaller. That also might not be the actual design. It doesn't look like that illustration has 37 storeys.
