At the turn of the last century, High-Rise buildings began to solidify their place in urban centres, as you can see with the development of High-Rise condos for sale in Vancouver.

The original reinforced concrete and steel buildings of the mid-century are slowly being replaced by glass condo towers in city centres and megacities.
