List of tallest buildings in Vancouver
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, has more high-rise buildings per capita than most North American metropolitan centres with populations exceeding 1,000,000. Vancouver's population density is the 4th-highest in North America and the city has more residential high-rises per capita than any other city on the continent. There are roughly 650 high-rise buildings that equal or exceed , and roughly 50 buildings that equal or exceed 100 metres (328 ft). Vancouver has 27 protected view corridors which limit the construction of tall buildings which interfere with the line of sight to the  North Shore Mountains, the downtown skyline, and the waters of English Bay and the Strait of Georgia. Almost all of Vancouver's buildings that exceed 100 metres in height are located within Downtown Vancouver. The tallest building in Vancouver is the 62-storey, Living Shangri-La and represents the city's efforts to add visual interest into Vancouver's skyline. The Private Residences at Hotel Georgia, completed in 2012 at and 48 stories, is currently the third-tallest in the city. One Wall Centre, at tall, with 48 storeys, is currently the city's fourth tallest building. One Wall Centre  has the distinction of being the first building in the world to use a tuned liquid column damper to control wind vibrations. The recently completed Trump Vancouver at 188 metres is now the city's second tallest building. Vancouver's history of skyscrapers began with the Dominion Building (1909), the Sun Tower (1911) (originally named the World Tower, then the News-Advertiser Tower, after the newspaper it was home to in each case), the Vancouver Block (1912), the second Hotel Vancouver (1916) and the Marine Building (1929). The third Hotel Vancouver was completed in 1939 at tall, and was the  first building in the city to have stood taller than 100 m (328 ft). Building construction remained slow in the city until the late 1960s, other than the completion of the new BC Electric headquarters (soon renamed BC Hydro headquarters, and today the Electra condominiums). From 1968 to 1981, Vancouver witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction. Many of the city's office towers were completed during this period, such as the Harbour Centre, Bentall Centre, Royal Centre, Granville Square and Pacific Centre office tower/mall complexes. A ten-year lull in building construction came after the  expansion, though Vancouver experienced a larger second building expansion beginning in 1991 and continuing into the present. In the last two decades Vancouver's pioneering urbanism, with its density and innovative developments, has been emulated by major cities throughout the world. As part of the city's push for liveable high-density areas (called Vancouverism by planning theorists), many mixed-use and residential buildings were built, such as Concord Pacific Place, the largest master-planned residential complex in North America. One Wall Centre and Living Shangri-La were the city's first buildings to break the and marks, respectively. While  highrise development outside of the downtown core had been nearly nonexistent due to zoning restrictions, recent transit oriented developments like Marine Gateway and the upcoming Oakridge Town Centre are centered around Canada line stations of the Skytrain, Metro Vancouver's light metro system, in order to increase residential density and reduce car reliance. They have or will have the tallest building heights outside of Downtown Vancouver. Tallest buildings.
