The Post building in Vancouver

The+Post should have been the first 2-3 million sq.ft. building+complex in Vancouver. However, due to the rainy cities watering down agenda, it's only a little more than one 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.

Manulife Centre in Toronto

Fortunately, 44 Charles wasn't just 44 stories. Indeed, it was the first 51 story mixed-use residential & office complex in Canada, but it should have been taller. Chicago has had the 100 story John Hancock Center since 1969. If Toronto couldn't have its own 100 story building in the mid 1970s, similar in scale to the John_Hancock_Center, there should have been two buildings with more than 50 floos.

This is a nice, wide Toronto building, but it got Vancouverized or miniaturized, right from the start.

Australia was able to go above 99 floors before Canada.
