Toronto’s Iconic Skyscrapers

Toronto has one of the most iconic skylines in the world. From the larger than life CN Tower to half-moon shaped Rogers Center, Toronto’s stunning skyline comes in all shapes and sizes. The history of Toronto’s iconic skyline began in the Financial District, with some of the tallest skyscrapers in Canada.

Though, today it is overshadowed by many new high-rises in the city, Commerce Court’s North Tower was the tallest building during the British reign at 34-storeys until early 1960s. A heritage building, the North Tower truly laid the foundation of the financial district of Toronto.

First Canadian Place

It was designed by Bregman + Hamann Architect. Today, First Canadian Place stands high at 72-storeys and is the tallest skyscraper in Canada, the 15th tallest in North America and the 95th tallest in the world. The building is home to several shopping stores, eateries and hosts various art and culture events.

TD Canada Trust Tower

Toronto-Dominion Centre

Toronto-Dominion Centre was initially constructed in 1967. An additional tower was constructed in the year 1996. The center consists of a total of 6 towers spanning over 4 million square feet of area, housing more than 20,000 tenants, making it one of the most dynamic and largest business towers in Canada.

Union Station

Union Station is a major getaway to Toronto. It is the most important and busiest passenger transportation hub in the country, catering 250,000 people daily. Construction of Union Station began in 1914 during the First World War amidst a scarcity of resources. In 1975, it was designated a National Historic Site and is regarded among Canada’s finest examples of a classical beaux-arts-style railway station.
