There are a lot of stumpy towers around the world that would actually be among the tallest buildings in Vancouver, BC. The Scotia_Tower was never the tallest in Vancouver, but it's been a prominent building on the skyline since 1977. https://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=65 34F 138m/452' https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=107855260&offset=50 The windows only go up to 34, then there are 2 windowless floors above that. In contrast, the Scotia_Plaza is double the height & twice the width. That's because such tall buildings in Toronto don't have to be watered down to Vancouver standards.
