List of tallest buildings in Canada


This is a list of the tallest buildings in Canada. As of April 2013, there are a total of 91 completed and under construction buildings in Canada with an official height of 150 m (492 ft) or more. Greater Toronto has 58 (Toronto 56, Mississauga 2), Calgary has 18, and Montreal has 9. Edmonton will have three by 2019; they are currently under construction.

Four of Canada's ten largest cities enforce height restriction laws. In Ottawa, skyscrapers could not be built above the height of the Peace Tower until the late 1970s, when the restriction was changed so that no building could overwhelm the skyline. In Montreal, skyscrapers cannot be built above the elevation of Mount Royal. The City of Vancouver has enacted "view corridors" which limit the height of buildings in most areas of downtown. The City of Edmonton had an elevation restriction, approximately 150 m (492 ft) above downtown, due to the proximity of the city centre airport, until it closed in November 2013.

This list does not include towers, including the CN Tower in Toronto, as they are not technically considered to be a building.

Buildings are ranked according to their height to architectural top, as provided by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH).

To qualify for this table, a building must be quoted by a reliable source as having an official height of more than 150 metres.
