The building only has 39 levels above the ground & the windows only go up to the 36 floor. In contrast, the B of A Tower in Seattle has windows up to the 76th floor.

SDO for short stations vs. long trains and stations

Although the station platform only allows room for a three-car trainset, when the station was first opened a six-car trainset was used on the line. In this case, only the first three train cars' doors opened at this station (selective door operation). It was not until 22 July 2006 that a dedicated three-car trainset began service on the line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaobitan_metro_station

SDO is such a great way to add a couple of cars without having to extend the platform until its absolutely necessary.

https://pbs.twimg.com/card_img/1509259479791161352/OK3fePFT?format=jpg&name=small As of 2022, Vancouver only has 2 residential towers that are just over 60 stories. However, no office tower has ever been permitted to have a 40th floor. That's not the case in Calgary & Seattle, because they aren't under any Vancouver height restrictions. Yet, Vancouver has the highest land costs in Canada.

The BC Quagmire

Vancouver & Victoria & BC in general, have so many imposed restrictions which continually stunt & thwart the place. Switzerland can approximately fit into BC 23 times. Yet, BC doesn't even have the population of one Switzerland. Canada is the world's 2nd largest country in overall area. Yet, it hasn't been allowed to have 1% of the world's population.

Environmental restrictions while intentionally good, can also really slow down the growth & energy of a region.

There should also be a reasonable amount of time to transition away from oil & gas, instead of such a madrush push.
