106-storey megascraper rises above Toronto clouds as Canada's new tallest building
The 106-storey Pinnacle SkyTower recently laid claim to the title of Canada's new tallest building. Construction crossed the 100-floor mark at the close of 2025, and the enormous condo tower still has a bit more to climb before it tops out at a staggering height of almost 352 metres.

Standing slightly higher than the CN Tower's observation pod, the city's hottest new skyline addition is shaping up to be the punctuation mark on what has been a historic building frenzy leading up to the current market collapse.......

Toronto's new 106-storey megatower officially reaches final floor



The gargantuan Pinnacle SkyTower now soars 106 storeys into the Toronto skyline, as the behemoth at the foot of Yonge St. has officially reached its top floor.

Pinnacle announced the momentous milestone on Thursday, bringing the city's new most prominent building closer to a scheduled completion later this year.

Officially taking the crown of Canada's tallest building, the Hariri Pontarini Architects-designed SkyTower also enters the record books as the first residential building in North America to reach 106 floors.

Thursday's announcement marks a huge step towards the project's completion, and Pinnacle has stated that it will hold an official topping-off ceremony later this year to officially commemorate the milestone.

That video was awesome. If you go full-screen, change the quality settings to higher res. That was fun watching the city spread out behind it. Perfect day with the low-level clouds and fog.

The same guy gave us this 5 months ago, I'm hoping he'll give us a 1 Bloor update soon.

One of 9? I can only think of 8 and that's if you include the HUB, which would barely scrap by with it's strange spire.

Grabbed this yesterday from the live webcam from the tower, just cleaned it up a bit in Leonardo_A.I.

Residential is topped out, they're working on two levels of mech now the first housing the 700 ton Mass Damper. After that it will be just the crown.

27 years on this forum, finally the Toronto boom is ending.

Dramatic ending, crashing.

The government will have to finance housing construction or people will be living on the streets

Lol. Yes, because the government has demonstrated it really, really cares about a worsening homeless situation in the country while it sells us out to subscription breathing fees.

Not sure I'd say that fully - big buildings are still happening, just slower, and not as big as what was starting a few years ago.

We are still getting 50+ storey buildings starting construction. Just not 100 storeys. It's still a faster rate of starts than what we were seeing 10, yet alone 15, years ago.

There's lots of very encouraging news on the housing front actually. The average Canadian house price continues to fall: 20% down from the peak and continuing down. The government has been in power for less than 13 months but has done more on the housing front than the Trudeau government did in 9+ years:

1. Launch of Build Canada Homes (BCH): A new federal agency created to act as a developer, building affordable housing at scale on federal lands. The agency has prioritized projects in major cities including Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Winnipeg, with plans for a "direct-build" approach utilizing prefabricated, factory-built housing.

2. $8.8-Billion Ontario Partnership: In March 2026, the federal government partnered with Ontario to cut municipal development charges by up to 50% for three years to stimulate stalled building projects. This deal includes $4.4 billion in federal funds over 10 years to support housing-enabling infrastructure.

3. Tax Relief and Incentives: The government is removing the 13% HST on new homes in Ontario for homes valued up to $1 million, with a maximum rebate of $130,000 for homes up to $1.5 million. This is in addition to previously announced GST eliminations for first-time buyers.

4. Increased Housing Target: The Liberal plan aims to double the current rate of residential construction to reach 500,000 new homes per year.
Rental Protection Fund: A $1.5-billion Canada Rental Protection Fund is being launched under BCH to support the acquisition of at-risk affordable rental units by the community housing sector.

5. Conversion Initiatives: Policies are in place to encourage the conversion of existing vacant or underutilized structures into affordable housing.

Like raising taxes on the overtax middle class to subsidize the construction of more housing is going to solve our imploding social net. Cities are struggling to balance budgets. Cutting services fees means they have to find the revenues elsewhere. We're grown too quickly but, the good thing is we have a ridiculously high number of temporary residents. Simply cutting them down to pre Trudeau or first term Trudeau figures would go further resolving everything from a lack of doctors to hospital beds to not enough housing to low wages without increasing the tax burden.

I get the forum likes construction but Carney is Prime Minister of Canada for being a disastrous economist overseas. Keep in mind he also built the framework for the previous administration that captured Canadians with progressivism but, mostly enriched themselves while the rest saw their wealth plummet. His Canadian economic policies are equally substandard.

50 plus storey towers were an exception ten to 15 years ago. I can't imagine high rise starts are up there with ten to 15 years ago. There's 142 under high rises in the database for Toronto and a few dozen of those may be completed or nearing completion and from a high of 230 plus not that long ago. I remember the database being well over 150 under construction from the 2010s onward.

The days of 50 storey towers breaking that aren't included in a subsidy program are probably numbered without a huge rebound in condos
