The Post in Vancouver

The+Post should have been the first 4-5 million sq.ft. complex in Vancouver. However, due to the rainy cities watering down agenda, it's only 1.9 million sq.ft. Thus, instead of being in the 55-60 story range, it wasn't even permitted to have 25 floors.

Not only did The-Post-on-Georgia Street have to be shorter than Toronto's small Simpson-Tower, The Post had to be shorter than the Old+City+Hall+in+Toronto.

While one side of Manulife+Centre+in+Toronto was Vancouverized with a stump of less than 25 stories, the other side of the complex has more than 50 floors.

If you are visiting from Calgary or Montreal and especially Toronto, you might be shocked to see how short the buildings are in Vancouver.
