One of Montreal's tallest was supposed to be one of a trio of identical buildings (tour de la bourse, at Place Victoria)

Quote:
The original project, conceived during the Expo 67-era economic boom, called for three identical towers arrayed in a triangle. It was scaled back to two towers flanking each side of the central core. Ultimately a single tower was built, due to financial constraints; the Hôtel Delta Centre-Ville was later built on the site of what was to be the second identical tower thus forming Place Victoria.
