Aren't Shangri La and Trump in Vancouver both over 60 floors?

Oh whoops! Shangri La is, Trump is not.

Telus Sky is significantly farther ahead in construction than Stantec, it will be the first in Alberta over 60.

Oh whoops! Shangri La is, Trump is not.

I can't find an official document for Trump tower. Wikipedia says 63 floors as well as a CBC article.

Not that it matters anyhow. Telus tower will be the first in Alberta to hit 60

The SSP and Emporis skyscraper databases list it was 59 floors. I would trust those over Wikipedia or an article likely sourced from Wikipedia.

The floor counts for either Shangri-la and Trump in Vancouver are all over the map. These are existing towers. You just count the floors!
It really doesn't seem to matter.

Ohhhh my god, this building is going to be unbelievable.

 

[maestro]

It's very well done. Perfectly balanced to keep it from becoming garish.

Wow, that's looking spectacular. Le Germain units just went up in value.
