I thought it was larger floorplates big companies were after, though that's a bit of a problem in dt Vancouver as well (as height restrictions) since there aren't a lot of large lots available for office development. That issue should be addressed by sites like the Bay parkade, where we should ideally see a very tall structure that uses a large footprint.
Though, looking at Seattle, where there is much more corporate presence and no height restrictions, there are not really any tall office towers that have been built in the last decade. Amazon uses a fairly short tower for their operations there. Microsoft isn't in any tall towers, so maybe it isn't all that necessary.
Broadway can take up a lot new office development. Maybe take on the European model that uses shorter buildings with large floor plates, strung along Broadway.
