I think that was (and is) the trend... large floorplates so you could have as many units on the same floor as possible.
As vike has mentioned before, Canada Life is another corporate HQ that could have had a skyscraper instead.
So alternate universe downtown Winnipeg has a 50-storey Canada Life tower, a 46-storey Hydro tower and a 40/50 storey pair of TNS twins, all with the same amount of floorspace that exists now.
