Thanks - I didn’t know our gutless city administration had actually decreased (even if only marginally) the height limit even further than before. That’s kind of discouraging. Especially because there is now enough demand, for the first time in decades, to possibly incite a couple of developers to build higher...

But the regulation has been updated in 2016. Now the true limit is 200 m.
To translate, the limit is still the elevation of Mount Royal as I explained OR 200 m, the lowest of the two. So both BNC and Victoria are max out in height.
With these rules, 1000 de la Gauchetière will always be the tallest (or if you prefer le 1250 René-Lévesque which is "officially" 230 m with its spear).
