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 84-metre (276 ft), 23-storey, 84 m (276 ft) Sage II Condos,[1] in Waterloo, while the tallest building in Kitchener is the 127.5 m (418 ft) DTK Condos, 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.
