Which means that Holborn received city approval for the changes and a more current city document exists somewhere, if such approval was necessary.

Yeah, even that amendment document from the City referenced 67 storeys which seemed to differ from the elevations in the same report.

Ultimately, we'll find out when it's topped out - I just hope it tops out fairly close to the top floor of Shangri-La.

Or perhaps, with a stroke of miracle, TALLER than the Shangri-la.

There is no doubt that it is 188m, which is slightly less than Shangri-La's 197m.

This is starting to look really tall when you enter downtown on Georgia, coming from the Lions Gate Bridge.

I took these with my iphone the afternoon of the Santa Claus parade.

Good work, urbancanadian! Trump and Shangri-La are complimenting each other nicely along the West Georgia Street urban canyon.

Plant a very tall flag pole and 'whalla'!

Should post that in the urban canyon thread in the Canada section!
