Thanks! I knew that a few buildings here and there have been converted. I know of one in Edmonton, Vancouver and also one in Victoria BC.

there have also been a couple of modernist boxes that have had residential/hotel components added - Mies van der Rohe's IBM plaza (hotel added to floors 2-13), Minuro Yamisaki's montgomery ward headquarters (full residential conversion), and mid-continetal plaza (top 15 floors converted to residential) come immediately to mind.
