For a status of Tower 101, look at the Holyrood tower which appears to be stuck in a state of almost-completion for several months now.

This company is like a wonky old computer that unexpectedly freezes up at random points. I hope they can at least get Holyrood moving ahead soon.

Other companies seem to be able to start and finish things more smoothly. I don't have much hope for Tower 101 at this point.

At one point, they seemed like one of the only developers doing anything. Them and Langham I think.
That was the time of the Pearl and they moved onto the two Edgewater towers and both of those went up fast if I remember correctly and it seemed like the Emerald was on its way.

Things have changed.

In fairness to Regency, Holyrood is their, 10th? Development in the city. They haven't all been high rises or statement buildings, but they have built a lot.
 
When there was no institutional money floating around, they were able to take advantage. Now we have major institutional money pouring in and it might be squeezing some of the mom&pop developers like Regency (to be fair, I don't know the exact source of their capital but I was under impression it was family or internal financing).

So, again much like a wonky old computer, it worked well at one time, but perhaps its best days are in the past.

I think it would be nice for the City to take measurements with the possibility of replicating them
 
I am guessing that in some archival vault there exists blueprints of the Tegler that has detailed records of all of the building's cornices, moldings, and unique architectural features -- all waiting for some brave developer to faithfully rebuild Tegler-too either in the Quarters or on CPR land in Old Strathcona. The new rebuild would make expansive use of laser-cutting, 3-d printing and CNC-furnishing to exactly reproduce the oft longed-for historical minutia of the original. I know this to be true for the Gem Theatre.
