And early 1980s at that. The last "major" addition before the current wave of tower construction was probably Ellen Fairclough; the Commerce Place twins came later but didn't make the same kind of impact, as they were either hidden behind EF from the west or backed by it from the east. Same goes for the Sheraton, being so close to 100 King W./Stelco Tower.
According to the database here, one of the taller apartment buildings downtown went up in 1984 too, the Martinique, but it kind of blends into the Durand mass. In that 2000 image I think it's the slab second from the right (the far right one should be Bay 200)
