FCP is Canada's biggest and houses 2.7 million sq. ft. and 978 feet tall.
That's more than the Trump Tower in Chicago at 2.6 million sq. ft. and that has a roof height of 1171 feet and a peak height of 1389 feet.
The Empire State Building has 2.75 million sq. ft.
The question is not whether or not Canada can support a building of that size, but rather if we are willing to choose a design that emphasizes height instead of maximizing square footage, like FCP does.
If FCP had the same square footage, but was any shape besides a basic square it would be much higher than 1000 ft.
