The Telus building in Burnaby

This could have been the first 40 story office tower in Burnaby, as well as for backwater BC. It's not even 30. Vancouver and BC in general, still have no 40 story office towers. However, Burnaby or Surrey will likely have the first office tower over 40 stories, eventually.

Since Calgary and Seattle aren't affected by the BC mind virus & don't have anything like Vancouver's strict height restrictions, they can build taller structures.
