Your probably right. For many years Vancouver had a strict height limit of 450 ft but as the downtown has rapidly densified the city is allowing some new buildings to go up to 650 feet (Shangri-La).There is even rumours of an office building being higher than that. I think the city has finaly realised that downtown land is a rare commodity and none of it should be wasted (ie craptacular short buildings in prominent locations).
Some more good pics that I found:
