It's unlimited but within reason. No height restrictions.

Obviously though the city wouldn't want such a massive building as being their first truly true skyscraper and by that I mean being 20 or 30 floors higher than the second highest.

By the time this is built, I believe the one at Victoria will have already been completed with 21 floors, and the old glove factory at 23, and Drewlo at 22, having a building 8 floors higher won't stick out too much like a sore thumb.

What's wrong with having a landmark building that stands out? I don't have a problem with that. Many cities actually have that.
