King George Tower is a proposed skyscraper set to rise in Surrey, British Columbia near the King George Station.[3] At a height of 274.3 m (900 ft) with 81 stories, the mixed-use building will be signifcantly taller than any highrise building in Surrey, the Vancouver area and Western Canada.[1][2] The skyscraper will also have the most floors of any building in Canada, exceeding the 72 floors of the First Bank Tower in Toronto.[1] However, due to the proposed height of the project, there is concern that the skyscraper may interfere air traffic heading to Vancouver International Airport.[2]
