List of tallest buildings in the Waterloo Regional Municipality

The Waterloo Regional Municipality is a large urban area in Southern Ontario comprising the cities of Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge, all of which have populations over 100 000, plus four largely rural surrounding townships, although the townships do have some small urban settlements. In the Waterloo Region, there are 61 buildings that stand taller than 50 m (164 ft). The tallest building in the area is the 23-storey, 83 m (272 ft) K2 condos ,[1] in Waterloo, while the tallest building in Kitchener is the 66 m (217 ft) Canada Trust Centre, and in Cambridge, the 50 m (164 ft) Black Forest Condominium. The majority of the high-rises in the area are in Kitchener, though Waterloo does contain a significant amount. Cambridge has only 8 buildings over 35 m (115 ft), with its tallest ranked only 23rd in the Region.

Kitchener, with 230,000 people, is the primary hub of the Waterloo Regional Municipality.

As of June 2020, the region contains 61 skyscrapers over 50 m (164 ft) and 110 high-rise buildings that exceed 35 m (115 ft) in height.[2][3][4]

The tallest development that is under construction in the Waterloo Region is DTK in Kitchener, at 127.8 m (419 ft) and 39 floors. As of June 2020, there are at least 55 high-rises under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in the Waterloo Regional Municipality.[2][3][4] Once built, DTK, at 127.8 m (419 ft) will be the tallest building in Kitchener and the Region of Waterloo upon completion.
