There's an example here in Calgary on 17th ave SE...Bella Casa Condos. I'm pretty sure the first two floors were concrete and then wood frame on top.
Edit: nm, it looks like that building is only 4 floors. I must be getting it mixed up with something else.

Another concern with wood frame would be noise, though I expect these to be higher quality than some of those 70's walk ups.
