We have so many tall buildings here, it's crazy to see it considering maybe 15+ years ago, the tallest thing in the city was the Sun Life Financial Tower at a measly 18 floors. It's unfortunately very hard to capture the skyline because like any major city, they're spread out across so many different areas: a few in downtown Cambridge, a lot downtown Kitchener, uptown Waterloo, a good amount of ugly student buildings on a stretch of King Street North and even more around Albert/University.
And...with so many projects planned for downtown Kitchener, downtown Cambridge as well as suburban areas like Northfield/Conestogo, Westmount/Father David Bauer, Courtland/Borden area, Sportsworld Drive and that massive SmartCentres project over on Pinebush, this region is likely going to have the most highrises/skyscrapers outside of the GTA (if we don't already hold that title). Even Ottawa doesn't compare because, apart from Claridge Icon at 45 floors, most of their buildings are midrise with a handfull maxing out at 30 floors due to the legal rules which stipulate that the views of Parliament Hill must remain protected.
