List of tallest buildings in Ottawa–Gatineau

This is a list of the tallest buildings in the Ottawa—Gatineau urban area that are over 90 m (295 ft) tall. Despite its size, Ottawa–Gatineau does not have many skyscrapers that exceed 100 m (330 ft) compared to other large Canadian cities. Until 1965, buildings in Ottawa were limited to 45.5 metres (149 ft) so that the 92 m (302 ft) tall Peace Tower at the centre of the Parliament Buildings could dominate the skyline.[1] The National Capital Region has a complicated system of protected view planes that are governed by the National Capital Commission and adhered to by the City of Ottawa and Ville de Gatineau.[2] Protected view planes limit the height of buildings in certain areas of the downtown cores of Ottawa and Gatineau to protect the prominence of the Parliament Buildings.

Western Ottawa's rapidly growing skyline, with Tunney's Pasture in the foreground and Westboro in the background.

Downtown Ottawa's skyline, with Parliament Hill on the left.
Downtown Gatineau's skyline, with the new Zibi neighbourhood on the left.
Little Italy's skyline, with Ottawa's tallest building, the Claridge Icon, on the left.

The tallest building in Ottawa—Gatineau is the 45-storey, 143 m (469 ft) tall Claridge Icon located in Little Italy. The tallest building approved for construction in Ottawa—Gatineau is the 65-storey, 234 m (768 ft) tall Trinity Station — Tower 1, part of the three-tower Trinity Centre located in Centretown West.[3][4][5][6]
