List of tallest buildings in Montreal

Montreal's skyline is the largest in Quebec and one of the largest in Canada, with 73 buildings in the city that reach a height greater than 100 metres (328 ft), 18 of which are taller than 150 metres (490 ft) as of 2026. Montreal has the largest skyline and the tallest buildings in Canada east of Toronto, the only city in Canada with a greater population. Since 1992, municipal regulations have limited the height of any new buildings from exceeding the height of Mount Royal, which rises 232.5 m (763 ft) above mean sea level, which is approximately equal to a height of 200 m (656 ft) from ground level.

The history of skyscrapers in Montreal began with the completion of the eight-storey New York Life Insurance Building in 1889. Following an early modest boom from the late 1920s to the early 1930s, Montreal's skyline was left unchanged until the early 1960s, when the construction of high-rises picked up again. This second, larger boom, which lasted until the early 1990s, was dominated by commercial office towers, such as Tour de la Bourse, which was the tallest building in Canada from 1964 to 1969. While not a habitable building, the Montreal Tower is a notable landmark in the city. Part of the city's Olympic Stadium, it was planned to be built in time for the city's 1976 Summer Olympics, but ultimately opened in 1987. It is the tallest inclined structure in the world at 165 m (541 ft). Montreal's tallest building, 1250 René-Lévesque, and its second tallest, 1000 de La Gauchetière, were both built in 1992, marking the end of the boom.

A third building boom would begin in the 2010s, with residential and mixed-use buildings making up an increasing share of new development. The downtown skyline expanded significantly, especially towards the southwest, around the Bell Centre. Notable additions include the three-tower Tour des Canadiens complex, built between 2013 and 2021, as well as Roccabella (2016) and L'Avenue (2020). The mid-2020s saw the completion of five new skyscrapers that approach the city's height limit of around 200 m: Victoria sur le Parc, Banque Nationale Headquarters, Maestria, 1 Square Phillips, and Skyla, reflecting a growing demand for vertical space. Between 2000 and 2025, Montreal has more than doubled the number of buildings taller than 100 m (328 ft), from 32 to 73.

Most of Montreal's tallest buildings are located in Downtown Montreal, forming the core of a continuous area of high-rises extending towards Shaughnessy Village to the southwest of downtown and Griffintown to the southeast. Both areas have seen increased high-rise development beginning in the 2010s. In addition, high-rises can be found along the coast of Nun's Island south of downtown, and recent developments on the island in the 2020s, such as Evolo X and Symphonia VIU, have exceeded a height of 100 m (330 ft). The Belvédère Kondiaronk lookout on Mount Royal is a popular viewpoint for the city's skyline.
