The power to record & digitally capture all kinds of Data is the logical progression of specially designated supercomputers.

Of course, when anyone has specially designated supercomputers they will want to try to record & data-capture anything possible.
Although the data is mostly electronic & digital in nature, physical building are essential to house the various databases. The Utah_Data_Center (UDC) is the latest & biggest that has been allowed to reach the general public level of awareness. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Williams#Utah_Data_Center,

No big roads in the park
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/08/stanley-park-125-years-before-and-after
The city has only permitted 2 residential towers over 600 feet & so far no office tower has been permitted to reach 500 feet. So it would have been interesting to actually see a 700' tall structure in the city.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/04/worlds-largest-ferris-wheel-proposed-for-stanley-park
The tallest office tower in Seattle, LA & Toronto are all twice the height of the Vancouver office stumps. In NYC & Chicago its 3 times the height.

Vancouver Building Height Limits

At the top left of this picture are a couple of the shortest office towers in Canada.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/07/vancouver-aerial-photos-sk
The TD was the first office tower in Vancouver to actually have offices on a 30th floor, the TD tower in Toronto is almost 60 stories. The SB tower was the 2nd office tower permitted to rise above 35 floors, the SB in Toronto is double the height, at almost 70 stories.
So far, no office tower in Vancouver has been permitted to have a 40th floor, let alone 50, 60 or 70+ stories.
