https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Pacific_Rim The building should have been at least 20 stories taller, but that would go against the symbolism of KEEPING VANCOUVER ON A SMALL SCALE.  

Floor Count 46 @ 141.2 m or Roof 463 ft https://skyscraperpage.com/b62/vancouver/fairmont-pacific-rim-vancouver 

Opened in 2010. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=112101321&page=8

Despite The Pacific Rim Region having a significantly large portion of the worlds population, Canada has less than 1% of the worlds population.
