If they could build Tapei 101 then we could easily build taller in Vancouver, it's not a question on earthquakes.
As for Brookfield Place, yes it is a fairly simple design. However the devil will be in the details with this one, the corners rounding more and more as the tower rises add a unique visual look, making it appear to taper inwards even though it does not. The crown feature will also be quite stunning, and will most certainly be lit up and look fantastic. Also the atrium space that will be between both buildings when fully complete is going to be an excellent space.

It simply has different floor heights than the Bow, and then you have the crown feature on top that is not technically a floor, but may be the equivalent of about 2.
