This is somewhat of a rhetorical rant as I am aware of most of the reasons why Vancouver doesnt build taller. It feels like Burnaby is building towers that are more fitting in height and scale to a downtown enviroment then vancouver is. In my opinion.
That said I'm happy to see any pure office proposal on the table.

One solution for Vancouver to build a tall office tower is to have a 50 storey building: half office half condo (without the ugly balconies): kinda like the Sheraton wall centre tower, except that it's not a hotel. Then the developer does not have to worry about office space not occupied.
