Construction is steadily advancing on SkyTower, set to become Canada’s tallest skyscraper.
Designed by Hariri Pontarini Architects, the 105-storey supertall is the second, and tallest phase in Pinnacle International’s masterplanned One Yonge community. The development also includes the 65-storey Prestige — completed in 2023.

Construction on SkyTower began in the fall of 2020, beginning with excavation and work on the buildings below-grade levels. The recent completion of the podium and lower tower floors has accelerated the building’s vertical progress, reaching past the 32nd floor at the time of writing.
