This tower and the city-imposed limitations which shaped it actually remind me of how far Vancouver is falling behind Toronto.
Toronto is currently constructing numerous residential towers which soar in height far beyond this tower (although none of them to my knowledge fetch as much per square foot as high-end towers in Vancouver). Of course, these Nelson towers wanted to do the same; indeed, the First Baptist Church site wanted to construct a new landmark for Vancouver at 750 feet, but the city swatted them down, even though the site did not even fall within any of their fabricated viewcone corridors (other than QE).
