These are the 10 tallest buildings in Toronto right now

Toronto has been going up in height over the years, with new towers seeming to pop up constantly, so that begs the question: what exactly are the tallest buildings in Toronto right now?

Of course, the CN Tower is the tallest structure in the city, but because it’s not technically a high-rise building due to its lack of sequential floors, it’s not included in the list.

There are quite a few planned and under-construction buildings right now that are set to surpass some, or even all, of buildings on this list, but for now, here are the 10 tallest buildings in Toronto.
