The Union bank building was still 4m shorter than the NY Life insurance on Place d'Armes. Although the Union was a legit steel-framed building with a full ten floors of office space, whereas the NYL is a hybrid of masonry on the lower floors and steel in the top, and it's 9th and 10th floors were apparently a legal library, whatever that means.
Interestingly, both towers are the same height when measured to the roofline (46m), but the NYL has that 4m little turret.
