Vancouver Centre 2 office tower, or is it just another stump?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scotia_Tower Of course it had to be shorter than the 2 tallest pyramids in Egypt. They used to be even taller when originally built.

The Scotia_Plaza in Toronto is double the height & twice the width than the stump in Vancouver.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pyramid/geometry/height.html VC Towers 1 & 2 weren't allowed to be taller than the original height of the Great_Pyramid_of_Giza in Cairo, Egypt either.

Vancouver Centre Tower 2 is definitely shorter than the Pyramid_of_Khafre.

A lot of cities have tall office towers, but Vancouver won't permit any to have 40 floors, nevermind 50, 60 or 70. Today, office towers might have to be designed to potentially be repurposed, as the need for office space declines.

In many cases, a 60 story residential tower might be the height equivalent of a 45-50 story office tower. That's because office floors are usually higher than residential floors.

It's interesting that Vancouver & BC chose to use some Egyptian pyramid symbolism.

Egypt eventually had to allow structures to be taller than their classic pyramids. However, it wasn't until the 1970s when the BC part of Canada would ever so slightly, allow some buildings to be taller than the great pyramid. Fortunately, most real major cities around the world don't have to adhere to anything like the strict Vancouver type height restrictions & other limitations. Even the mountains just north of Vancouver are shorter than the mountains that are north of LA.

The Cairo_Tower was the first Egyptian building allowed to exceed the height of the Great_Pyramid_of_Giza.  

Architectural	187 m (613.5 ft)
Antenna spire	187 m (613.5 ft)

It was was quite a long time before another building in SF was allowed to be taller than the 1972 era Transamerica_Pyramid.

A few other pyramidal towers would eventually rival the height of the Transamerica_Pyramid.

The_Shard in London.
