King George Tower was a proposed skyscraper in Surrey, British Columbia near King George Station. [3] At a height of 274.3 m (900 ft) with 81 stories, the mixed-use building would have been significantly taller than any highrise building in the Vancouver area. [1] [2] The skyscraper also would have had the most floors of any building in Canada, exceeding the 78 floors of Aura in Toronto, Ontario. [2] However, due to the proposed height of the project, there was concern that the skyscraper may interfere with air traffic heading to Vancouver International Airport. [1]
