King George Tower was a proposed skyscraper in Surrey, British Columbia near King George Station.[1] At a height of 274.30NaN0 with 81 stories, the mixed-use building would have been significantly taller than any highrise building in the Vancouver area.[2] [3] The skyscraper also would have had the most floors of any building in Canada, exceeding the 78 floors of Aura in Toronto, Ontario.[3] 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.[2]
