List of tallest buildings in Toronto
This is a list of tallest buildings in Toronto , Canada's largest city . The 298 meter high First Canadian Place is the tallest building in the city and also the tallest in Canada . The CN Tower , Toronto's tallest building at 553 meters, is not counted among the skyscrapers as it has no residential purpose and hardly any usable space. However, since it was built in 1976, the tower was the tallest free-standing structure in the world until it was replaced by the Burj Khalifa in September 2007 .
Downtown Toronto has over 100 skyscrapers with the minimum height of 100 meters. And in the metropolitan area of Toronto there are over 2000 buildings that are over 90 meters high. This means that there are the second most skyscrapers on the North American continent after New York City . The first skyscraper was the Beard Building, built in 1894, which was demolished in 1929. The number of skyscrapers is currently growing steadily. In October 2009 a total of 376 high-rise buildings were in the planning or construction phase.
