I suppose there are well known instances of buildings that were designed to support additional floors like the Curry Building on Portage, or Union Station, but those are not really designed for 'towers'. I suspect that a lot of older buildings were probably built with the possibility of adding a few floors in mind. There is also the unbuilt second tower of TD Centre/201 Portage, but I don't think there is an actual foundation built as there was with Portage Place/Winnipeg Square.

Yeah Curry building and 201 are the only other potential ones that come to mind for me.
