This is part of a Calgary and Seattle comparison series to show what they can do, simply because they aren't under any Vancouver type controls and restrictions.
Vancouver_House would have been much more impressive if it was permitted to be on the scale of what Calgary and Seattle allows. However, Vancouver is such a watered down backward city, with so many imposed restrictions and limitations of what can be built. Thus, Calgary's version is at least 70 m or 230 feet taller.
Telus_Sky is a 60 or 59-storey tower, 222.3 m (729 ft). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telus_Sky#Building_details

There seems to be a discrepancy with its total height.

Calgary and Seattle built theirs right side up, whereas Vancouver seems more like upside-down world. Nothing like Vancouverism has ever taken over other major cities in Canada or the USA.

The first Rainier_Tower is at much lower height at 156.67 m (514.0 ft) and it's very close in size to Vancouver House. That's the difference with Seattle, because they didn't have to water down or Vancouverize their 2nd tower in the complex.
This really illustrates the difference of how small Vancouver House would be, if it was in Seattle. https://www.architectmagazine.com/project-gallery/rainier-square_o

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4/C If this is built, it will be at least twice the height of the small scale Vancouver House.

Unlike Vancouver, BC, Seattle is allowed to not only build something that is impressive by Toronto standards, but what would even be tall by Chicago standards.
