Calgary - The Bow, 58 storeys, 238m
Shanghai - Shanghai Tower, 128 storeys, 632m :D |
No shortage of construction here (mostly infill) but sadly our tallest here is the Louis-Boheme, 28 floors and its topped off. Once this building will be finished I believe our tallest will be some barn in the west-island or some triplex on Rene-Levesque....

I like how Canadian skylines just have a lot of smaller towers, not a few really tall ones. Makes for a more visually pleasing skyline IMO. |
Edmonton has Epcor Tower under construction. Will be about 450 feet/137m, or Edmonton second tallest.

In Vancouver it is currently The Georgia at 157m (48 floors)

Thanks for all the numbers so far. :)
In terms of large(r) cities I'm still missing Victoria, Saskatoon, Regina, Windsor, Toronto and Quebec. |
Quebec City tallest U/C is Complexe Jules-Dallaire... The official height is unknown I think. I would guess something around 75m.
