Doesn't that seem somewhat tall, considering most residential towers of 23 floors are in the 60 to 70-meter range, or is there a particular oversize ceiling height element to this building?

Yes there is: 9 foot ceilings in all residential units and common-use penthouse (3.1m per floor), above ground internal parking for 2 floors (worth 3.5m - 4m per floor), and an inordinately tall mech penthouse.
Imagery shows the structure to be nearly identical in height to the nearby Talbot Centre towers, such as this image posted last year from Dither City that illustrates this last point very well. Both buildings are pretty much the same distance from the camera and the camera viewpoint at a higher elevation in order to make a consistent comparison:
