Well, some good news and some bad news from Vancouver.
One tower has been reduced in height (falling off this list) while another is actually taller than originally thought.
First the good news (great IMO because I love this design) First Baptist Church development is 10 meters taller:

Looking at this diagram it should really hit hard in the skyline, appearing nearly as tall as Trump and SL.

Top of Tower showing elevations and mechanicals
(including damper for sway)
Note the tandem (stacked) elevators
The lower cab is for garbage and service (bikes)
Also note the BMU storage (Building Maintenance Unit) - window washing crane storage.
Note that the "hallways" are actually open breezeways - 50 storeys up!!
That may not be nice on a cold winter's night waiting for the elevator.
Also note the BMU track winding around the curves.

Now the bad news, the "Jenga Tower" (1500 West Georgia) has been reduced from 152 meters to
133 meters.
It will still be tall for the area, but still disappointing to see this one get knocked down 20 meters (and off this list).
