List of tallest buildings in Toronto

Toronto is the largest city in Canada, with a metropolitan area population of over 6.2 million. Many of Toronto's tallest buildings are also the tallest in all of Canada. Toronto has one of the largest skylines in the world, with 108 completed skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) as of 2026, 31 of which have a height greater than 200 m (656 ft). It is the third largest skyline in North America, after New York City and Chicago. The city's tallest building since 1975 has been First Canadian Place, which rises 298 metres (978 ft) tall. It is also the tallest building in Canada. However, the tallest free-standing structure in the city is the 553.3 m (1,815 ft) CN Tower, which was the tallest free-standing structure in the world from 1975 until 2007, and remains the most prominent landmark on Toronto's skyline.

The history of skyscrapers in Toronto began in 1894 with the construction of the Beard Building, which is often regarded as the first skyscraper in the city. Toronto went through its first building boom in the late 1920s and early 1930s, increasing the number of tall buildings in the city. Following the Great Depression, there was a great lull in high-rise construction for over 30 years. A second, larger building boom began in the 1960s, which saw the construction of many recognizable commercial skyscrapers, such as the TD Bank Tower and Commerce Court West in 1973, the aforementioned First Canadian Place, and the postmodernist skyscrapers of Scotia Plaza and TD Canada Trust Tower towards the end of the boom.

A third, much larger high-rise construction boom emerged in the mid-2000s and has continued to the present, dramatically expanding and reshaping Toronto's skyline; of the skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft), only 11—less than one ninth—were built before the 21st century. Unlike the previous two booms, most of Toronto's recent high-rise development has been in residential and mixed-use buildings. The rate of construction accelerated further in the 2010s and 2020s, with the completion of Toronto's tallest mixed-use building, The St. Regis Toronto, in 2012, and its tallest fully residential building, Aura, in 2014. The boom's extent has led it to be described as an example of Manhattanization. As of 2025, there are over 15 further skyscrapers under construction, three of which being supertall skyscrapers that will overtake First Canadian Place in height. The tallest is SkyTower at Pinnacle One Yonge, which will rise to 351.4 m (1,153 ft), followed by The One at 308.6 m (1,012 ft), and Concord Sky at 300.2 m (985 ft).

While most of Toronto's skyscrapers are located in Downtown Toronto, there are significant skyscraper clusters in Yonge–Eglinton as well as in North York City Centre to the north of downtown, Scarborough City Centre to the east, and in Humber Bay to the west. Downtown, Yonge–Eglinton, and North York all sit along Yonge Street, a major arterial. Smaller clusters of high-rises, such as in Yonge-St.Clair and Islington-City Centre West, can be found across the city. In the Greater Toronto Area, large skyscraper clusters are developing in Mississauga and Vaughan. The Toronto skyline, especially the CN Tower, can be spotted by the naked eye during clear daylight skies from locations as far as Newmarket from the north, Clarington from the east, several points along the Niagara Escarpment from the west, and Fort Niagara State Park in the south across Lake Ontario in the U.S. state of New York.

1890s–1950s

Toronto's population grew rapidly in the late 19th century, reaching 181,000 in 1891. The first "skyscraper" in Toronto is often considered to be the Beard Building. The seven-storey building was constructed in 1894 to a wood-brick combination design by E. J. Lennox, one of Toronto's most prominent and sought-after architects at the time. However, the similarly tall Toronto Board of Trade Building was completed two years prior in 1892; the Board of Trade wanted to build a skyscraper like those in New York City, Chicago and Boston, and they favoured an American architect over Canadian-based ones, supposedly on the basis of experience with tall buildings. In 1895, the Temple Building would be the first building in Toronto to breach the ten-storey mark. Housing the headquarters of the Independent Order of Foresters, a friendly society and financial institution, the Romanesque Revival building also looked to Chicago's early skyscrapers for inspiration. All three of the aforementioned buildings were demolished during the 20th century. While not a high-rise building, the Toronto's city hall, now the Old City Hall, was completed in 1899, featuring a prominent 103.6 m (340 ft) clock tower.

The Great Fire of Toronto in 1904 destroyed a large section of downtown, but the city was quickly rebuilt. The intersection of King and Yonge streets became a site for some of Toronto's first skyscrapers. In 1906, the Trader's Bank Building was completed. At 55.4 m (182 ft) and 15 storeys, it was the tallest building in the city, in Canada, and in the British Commonwealth until the Royal Liver Building was completed in 1911. The building was innovative in its leasing arrangements; it was the first major Toronto building to introduce the New York system of leasing by the square foot. Already the height of new buildings in Toronto were met with controversy, drawing comparisons with New York City's skyline. One editorial in The Globe wrote that "if the skyscraper habit grows, as there is every indication it will... the lower end of Yonge Street and the central portion of King street will become dim sunless canyons such as one sees in the financial centre of New York."

A 61 m (200 ft) height limit was introduced in 1907, which was short-lived, as the even taller Canadian Pacific Building was built in 1913, retaking the title as the tallest building in the Commonwealth. It served as the headquarters for the Canadian Pacific Railway, which "was enjoying its greatest period of prosperity" and wanted to incorporate its offices into a single location. Its design has been described as Edwardian and Beaux-Arts. The Traders Bank of Canada, for which the Trader's Bank Building was built, would be acquired by the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) in 1912. The RBC would later build the 89 m (292 ft), 20-storey Royal Bank Building at 8 Elm Street in 1915.

After a minor slowdown during World War I, Toronto's skyline continued to grow during the 1920s, with construction accelerating at the end of the decade. The architectural style of Art Deco was popular at the timel influencing the design of the 21-storey Sterling Tower, which narrowly surpassed the Royal Bank Building at 90 m (295 ft) and 20 storeys as Toronto's tallest building in 1928. It was almost matched by the Old Toronto Star Building, which was the headquarters of the Toronto Star newspaper from 1929 until 1970. Also in 1929, the largest of Canada's grand railway hotels—a series of hotels built by the Canadian Pacific Railway to encourage the use of its rail network—was completed. The Royal York was designed in the Châteauesque style and contained over 1,000 guest rooms. It was 124 m (407 ft) tall, the first building in Toronto to exceed 100 m (328 ft) in height. In 1931, the Royal York was surpassed by the 145 m (476 ft) Commerce Court North, built as the headquarters of the Canadian Bank of Commerce; it is now part of the Commerce Court complex of office buildings. In 1932, a high-rise tower portion was added to Whitney Block. a Government of Ontario office building.

High-rise development stalled in the early 1930s with the onset of the Great Depression, and later, World War II, leaving the skyline virtually unchanged for two decades. The city's growth resumed after the war, and with it, high-rise construction gradually resumed in the 1950s. These buildings stayed well below the height of Royal York and Commerce Court North, which would remain as Toronto's two tallest buildings for 36 years, from 1931 to 1967. Among the most notable of them was the Bank of Nova Scotia Building, which had been planned in 1930, but construction was delayed and shelved until it began in 1947; the building was completed in 1950. Another was the Imperial Oil Building completed in 1957 as the headquarters of Imperial Oil, Canada's largest oil company. Many residential high-rises between 10 and 15 storeys were also completed in the 1950s as part of the "urban renewal" movement, sometimes at a distance from downtown.

1960s–1990s

Toronto's skyline would change significantly beginning in the 1960s and 1970s, with the downtown core rebuilt with new, taller, skyscrapers, designed in the modern and International styles. The new neo-expressionist Toronto City Hall opened in 1965, consisting of two curved, asymmetric 20-storey towers surrounding a saucer-shaped council chamber amphitheatre. The buildings have become a symbol of the city, referenced in Toronto's city flag since 1974. The most notable landmark towers were built by the largest financial institutions in the country, Canada's "Big Five" banks. The Toronto-Dominion Bank Tower, completed in 1967, not only broke the 150 m (492 ft) limit, but the 200 m (656 ft) limit as well, coming in at a height of 223 m (731 ft) and becoming Toronto and Canada's tallest building. It would be the first building of the eventual Toronto-Dominion Centre, the headquarters of Toronto-Dominion Bank, which now consists of six towers. Designed by famed German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the towers represents the end evolution of Mies's North American period. Like the Seagram Building in New York City, which Mies also designed, the Toronto-Dominion Centre follows the theme of the darkly coloured, steel and glass edifice set in an open plaza. Built alongside the towers was an underground shopping concourse, the first component of Toronto's PATH system that currently links many of Toronto's office skyscrapers.

The Canadian Bank of Commerce, which had built Commerce Court North in 1931, merged with Imperial Bank of Canada to become the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), now another of the "Big Five" banks. The bank intended to establish a new headquarter complex, and Commerce Court West was erected in 1973, in addition to a shorter eastern high-rise and a southern mid-rise building, forming the Commerce Court complex. Commerce Court West is another International Style edifice with stainless steel and glass curtain walls; at 239 metres (784 ft), it took the title of Toronto and Canada's tallest building. The rapid increase in building height at the time found opposition in Toronto mayor David Crombie, who attempted to impose various height restrictions across downtown, including a 45-foot (13.7 m) height restriction on bylaw development.

Toronto's tallest building, First Canadian Place, was completed two years later in 1975. The headquarters of another "Big Five" bank, the Bank of Montreal, First Canadian Place is known for its white Carrara marble cladding, which was recladded in white granite between 2009 and 2012. It took the place of the Old Toronto Star Building, with the Toronto Star newspaper, now organized under Torstar, moving to One Yonge Street. At the time of its completion, First Canadian Place was the 8th-tallest building in the world, the tallest outside of New York City and Chicago, and the tallest outside all of the United States. The Bank of Montreal "M-bar" logo at the top of the building was the highest sign in the world until overtaken by the sign atop CITIC Plaza in Guangzhou, China, in 1997. All three of the "Big Five" headquarters—First Canadian Place, Commerce-Court West, and Toronto-Dominion Centre—are located on adjacent blocks in Old Toronto, near the intersection of Bay and King streets. For the rest of the 20th century, they formed the peak of Toronto's high-rise skyline. However, First Canadian Place would be the city's tallest free-standing structure only briefly, as the iconic CN Tower was completed next year.

The idea for the CN Tower was conceived by the Canadian National Railway, which wanted to build a large television and radio communication platform to serve the Toronto area, and to demonstrate the strength of Canadian industry and CN in particular. The reflective nature of the Toronto's new, taller skyscrapers reduced the quality of broadcast signals, requiring higher antennas that were at least 300 m (980 ft) tall. The initial plans for the tower involved three independent cylindrical "pillars" linked by structural bridges, later evolving into the current design of single continuous hexagonal core with three support legs blended into the hexagon below the main level. The tower opened in 1976 with three observation points, the highest of which was Space Deck, now known as The Top. Located southwest of Old Toronto on a disused railway stitching yard, the tower was surrounding by parking lots in the early years after its opening. The CN Tower, perhaps Toronto's most recognizable landmark, was the world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, from 1975 until 2007, when it was surpassed by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

After the mid-1970s, the pace of the boom slowed considerably but continued onto the early 1990s, culminating with the construction of the city's and Canada's then second and third tallest buildings, Scotia Plaza and the TD Canada Trust Tower. These buildings were designed in the postmodern style that became popular in the 1980s. Built for another Big Five Bank, the Scotiabank, Scotia Plaza is distinctive for its cladding of Red Napoleon granite, which was quarried in Sweden and polished in Italy before being imported to Canada, and its step profile on its upper floors, giving some of them over 12 desirable corner offices. The TD Canada Trust Tower, then simply the Canada Trust Tower, is one of two towers in Brookfield Place, the other being the Bay Wellington Tower. The two skyscrapers share a recessed design on the upper levels, with the Canada Trust Tower sporting a spire. The last major skyscraper of the 20th century was The 250 in 1992, after which there was a lull in skyscraper construction until the mid-2000s. Despite this growth the turn of the millennium, Toronto had only 11 skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft), less than most major American cities.

2000s–present

Toronto's population has continued to grow, driven by immigration and internal migration. From the mid-2000s onwards, the city has been undergoing an unprecedented skyscraper boom, which has since continued unabated. Instead of office skyscrapers, many of the new towers have residential, hotel, or mixed-use functions. The first building taller than 150 m (492 ft) in Toronto in the 21st century was One King West Hotel & Residence in 2005, with residences and a hotel. Other completions in the 2000s included two towers at Residences of College Park (2008) and Montage (2009). Montage is part of the CityPlace neighbourhood, located within the former Railway Lands next to the CN Tower. The area was redeveloped with residential and mixed-use high-rises throughout the 2000s and 2010s.

The final phase of Residences of College Park was Aura, completed in 2014. At 272 m (892 ft), it is Canada's tallest residential skyscraper. Located on Gerrard and Yonge, Aura fills a gap in the downtown skyline between the Financial District to the south, and the emerging towers at Bloor–Yonge to the north. In the core Financial District, the mixed-use, 277 m (908 ft) St. Regis Toronto was finished in 2012, becoming Canada's second tallest building. The skyscraper was called the Trump International Hotel and Tower Toronto until 2017, as The Trump Organization held the management contract for the hotel and was a minority shareholder in the project. The name became controversial during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, and subsequent election as president of the United States. The pace of construction has led to the common phenomenon of Facadism, the practice of retaining only the facade of a historical building, while new buildings are erected behind or around it, as a compromise between historical preservation and development.

An expanding skyline

New skyscrapers considerably expanded Toronto's downtown skyline in all directions from the downtown core. Office developments continued with the Bay Adelaide Centre and RBC Centre, both built in 2009. One area that was impacted significantly was the Entertainment District in the west of downtown, with condo additions like the Ritz-Carlton Toronto (2011) and Three Hundred (2014). The Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation, now known as Waterfront Toronto, was established in 2001 to oversee revitalization projects along the Toronto waterfront. Toronto's waterfront was formerly industrial land, with much activity related to Toronto's port. In addition to CityPlace, the city's waterfront was also built up in the Harbourfront and South Core areas south of the Financial District, and in East Bayfront southeast of it. Some notable developments here are Harbour Plaza (2016), Ten York (2018), and the twin Sugar Wharf skyscrapers (2023), featuring a unique patterned black and white cladding.

Further east along the waterfront is the Distillery District and the planned West Don Lands, both of which are undergoing residential high-rise development. North of them is Regent Park, where high-rises have been developed in accordance with the Regent Park Revitalization Plan. West of the CN Tower and separated from the shore by Exhibition Place is Liberty Village, where a group of new towers form the centre of the new Kings West Village neighbourhood. The northward expansion of Toronto's downtown skyline has spread to neighbourhoods such as the Garden District, Church and Wellesley, St. James Town, Discovery District, and Yorkville, with the tallest skyscrapers centered around the arterials of Bay and Yonge streets. Besides Aura, notable completions include the Four Seasons Toronto (2012) and One Bloor (2017).

"Manhattanization" and supertall skyscrapers

The scale of Toronto's current skyscraper boom has been described as an example of Manhattanization, in reference to the skyscrapers of the namesake borough in New York City. The causes behind the boom have been attributed to Toronto's rapid population growth, expensive housing market, familiarity of new immigrants with high-rise living, positive views towards city centre living, and restrictive zoning laws. Toronto has regularly topped the RLB Crane Index, which measures the number of cranes in North American cities. In one week of 2018, Toronto City Council approved 755 storeys of new development in the city's downtown core. In 2025, Toronto surpassed 100 skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) within its city limits, being the 17th city in the world to do so. Taking into account skyscrapers under construction, the Greater Toronto Area, including the cities of Mississauga, Vaughan, and Pickering, has 148 skyscrapers taller than 150 m (492 ft) as of 2025, ahead of the Chicago metropolitan area with 138.

Since the 2010s, Toronto has received a number of proposals for supertall skyscrapers, buildings taller than 300 m (984 ft). Each would be taller than Toronto's tallest building, First Canadian Place. There are currently three under construction, all located in separate areas of the downtown skyline. The first to start construction is One Bloor West, also known as The One, which will be 309 m (1,012 ft) tall. One Bloor West is located in Yorkville, at the intersection of the Yonge and Bloor streets, where many other skyscrapers are proposed. Designed by Foster and Partners, construction began in 2017, but the building's ascent has been slow owing to financial issues; the project was put into receivership in 2023 by lenders who claimed necessary payments had not been made. Initially managed by Mizrahi Developments, since 2025 the building is being developed by Tridel. The skyscraper's appearance is marked by vertical, horizontal and diagonal framing elements and horizontal bands at regular intervals.

The Pinnacle One Yonge complex, located in the South Core area, will have some of the tallest buildings on Toronto's Harbourfront, The tallest, SkyTower, will be 351.4 m (1,153 ft), ahead of One Bloor West; should SkyTower be completed first, it would prevent One Bloor West from ever becoming Toronto's tallest building. SkyTower has white, vertical fins that stretch along its facade and merge with the building's podium. The proposed Tower 2 of the complex, at 320 m (1,049 ft), would also be a supertall skyscraper if built. Construction on a third supertall skyscraper, Concord Sky, began in earnest in 2025 after earlier delays. The Kohn Pederson Fox-designed building will have an angular roofline; located on Yonge and Gerrard street, Concord Sky sits on the same junction as Aura, between One Bloor West and Pinnacle One Yonge. Another supertall building is one of two skyscrapers on the Frank Gehry-designed Forma complex, which will feature a unique arrangement of stacked vertical boxes; as of 2025, only the shorter eastern tower is under construction.

In 2025, a proposal was made for a redevelopment of the College Park complex, which would see the addition of three skyscraper atop the Art Deco building, which will be expanded into a 12-storey podium. All three towers are taller than 200 m (656 ft), with the Central Tower being a supertall skyscraper, at 333.3 m (1,094 ft) tall. Other proposed supertalls include 19 Bloor West and 1200 Bay Street.

New bank icons

Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC), both responsible for some of Toronto's tallest buildings during the 20th century, would establish new skyscrapers in the Financial District during the 2020s. Work on TD Terrace, a 236.5 m (776 ft) skyscraper, began in 2019 to house offices for Toronto-Dominion Bank as well as space for the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Resembling a "fortress", according to The Globe and Mail, its shape is a rectangular box that bulges outwards in the middle and then gradually narrows towards the top, where a private amenity space is present. The shape lessens the downward impact of wind among pedestrians. The building's green lighting and the Toronto-Dominion Bank sign, which is taller than the one in the Toronto Dominion Center, have drawn attention and some criticism from Torontonians.

In 2017, the CIBC announced they would be moving their headquarters and 15,000 staff from Commerce Court to a new 270,000 square metre (2.9 million sq ft) development, then named Bay Park Centre, where they would be the anchor tenant. Construction began the same year on what would become CIBC Square, consisting of twin skyscrapers around 240 m (787 ft) tall, very slightly taller than Commerce Court West. The 49-storey south tower was completed in 2021, with the 50-storey north tower joining it in 2025. The complex's facade is distinguished by its undulating glass facade that resembles the shape of diamonds, which were designed to modulate incoming light. In addition, the complex also serves as a transit hub, with a bus station in the podium with connections to Union Station directly to its north. CIBC will retain offices in Commerce Court, which is only a few blocks away.

Developments outside of downtown

Toronto's skyline has become progressively multinodal in the 21st century, with skyscrapers and high-rises increasingly appearing across the Greater Toronto Area. Outside of the city of Toronto, other cities in the Greater Toronto Area, especially Mississauga and Vaughan, but also including Brampton, Markham, Oshawa, and Pickering have been undergoing significant high-rise development. Within Toronto itself, there are three high-rise clusters besides downtown that contain a skyscraper taller than 150 m (492 ft). The Humber Bay area in the former city of Etobicoke, is located far west of downtown. Since the 1980s, residential towers have been erected along the eponymous bay, beginning with The Palace Pier. In the 2010s, skyscrapers began to breach 150 m (492 ft). The tallest building in the cluster is the Eau du Soleil Sky Tower. At a height of 228 m (749 ft), it is also the tallest skyscraper in the city outside of downtown. The Sky Tower features a curved roof and a diagonal line that runs along the height of the building, as does its shorter sibling, the Water Tower.

The area of Midtown Toronto, also known as North Toronto or Yonge–Eglinton, is one of Toronto's business districts, and has gone through a skyscraper boom of its own. The first skyscraper above 150 m (492 ft) to rise in the district was Quantum 2, part of Minto Midtown, in 2008. It was surpassed as the tallest building in Midtown by E Condos South, built in 2019 at a height of 195.7 m (642 ft). The E Condos are known for cantilevered floors halfway up the buildings that house glass swimming pools. Other notable completions are 2221 Yonge (2021), E2 at E Place (2022), and The Parker (2022). Further north along Yonge Street is North York City Centre, which has a cluster of high-rises that run north-south along the street. Only one skyscraper reaches 150 m (492 ft): Hullmark Centre I, built in 2015, at 169.6 m (556 ft) tall. Shorter developments such as Gibson Square condos (2014), the distinctly green Emerald Park Condos (2015), Minto 88 (2015), Pivot (2020), and Diamond on Yonge (2021) have nevertheless transformed the North York skyline.

To a lesser extent, various other areas within Toronto are undergoing influx of new high-rises, with many receiving a new tallest building in the area. The intersection of Yonge–St. Clair, around which is the area of Deer Park, is situated between Yonge–Eglinton and downtown Toronto. Its cluster of high-rises, centered on St. Clair Avenue, will be given a major boost by One Delisle, an under construction 158 m (518 ft) skyscraper designed by Studio Gang. Its unique design consists of a series of 8-storey-high elongated hexagonal modules that nest together as they spiral up the building. In Islington-City Centre West, west of Humber Bay, the 145 m (476 ft) Islington Terrace was completed in 2021, becoming the tallest building in the neighbourhood, ahead of other new additions like Parc Nuvo at Essex (2012), Station Place (2021), and Valhalla Town Square (2022).

The northwestern neighbourhood of Weston received a new tallest building in 2019 with West 22 at Weston Common, which is 107.5 m (353 ft) tall. In Wallace Emerson, the 103.4 m (339 ft) The Diamond I was built in 2024. In Casa Loma, the Heathview towers were erected in 2015, being 109 m (357 ft) tall. Encore at Equinox became the tallest building in Scarborough City Centre in 2013. The Scarborough skyline will expand significantly with Alta, a $750 million rental development of three towers, the tallest of which will reach 149 m (489 ft). Several towers are under construction that would become the tallest in their respective areas, including The Frederick Condominiums in Leaside, Metro Park Condomiiums I in Flemingdon Park, 8 Locust Street in Mount Dennis, and The Sloane towers in Yorkdale, all residential high-rises.
