List of tallest buildings in Toronto

The tallest habitable building in the city is First Canadian Place, which rises 298 metres (978 ft) tall in Toronto's Financial District and was completed in 1975.

After this period, there was a great lull in construction between 1932 and 1964 with only a single building above 91.5 metres (300 ft) tall being built.

The TD Tower would soon be followed by Commerce Court West, the 14th tallest building in the world at the time of its completion in 1972.

Natalie Alcoba of the National Post described this phenomenon as the "Manhattanization" of Toronto in reference to the built-up nature of the namesake island borough in New York City.

As architectural features and spires can be regarded as subjective, some skyscraper enthusiasts prefer this method of measurement.
