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.

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.
