Just to close the loop on this, it's hard to tell from the photos but it looks like the infirmary was nine floors whereas the Willow Tree site was ten floors plus mechanical penthouse, so assuming similar floor heights the Willow Tree site is a little taller, but it's close.
I know we're getting off topic here, but I love this quote from the 2004 announcement of the Infirmary demolition:
"This project is going to free up a large, prime piece of real estate in the heart of the capital city," said Mr. Russell. "It's time to get on with the job and make way for the future."
