List of tallest buildings in Ottawa–Gatineau

Downtown Ottawa
The Canadian Parliament Building in Ottawa
The Terrasses de la Chaudière office complex in Hull, of which Tower 1 is the tallest building in Ottawa–Gatineau
Place de Ville Tower C, Ottawa–Gatineau's second tallest building, and the tallest building on the Ontario side of the National Capital Region

This is a list of the tallest buildings in Ottawa–Gatineau over 90 m (295 ft) tall (Canada's National Capital Region). Until 1965, buildings in downtown Ottawa were limited to 45.5 metres (149 ft) so that the Peace Tower, part of the parliament buildings, could dominate the skyline.[1] The National Capital Region has a complicated system of protected views that is governed by the National Capital Commission and adhered to by the City of Ottawa.[2] Protected views limit the height of buildings in certain areas of the downtown core of Ottawa to ensure views of Parliament from several angles.

The tallest building in the national capital region is the 30-storey Terrasses de la Chaudière, which is located on the Quebec side of the river and stands at 124 m.

The tallest development that is under construction in Ottawa–Gatineau is the 900 Albert Tower 1 development by Trinity Group standing at 65 storeys[3]. Upon its completion, Tower 1 will be the 14th tallest building in Canada.

As of February 2011, the region contains 51 skyscrapers over 75 m (246 ft) and 414 high-rise buildings that exceed 35 m (115 ft) in height.[4][5]
