Vaughan is a city in the Canadian province of Ontario. Part of the Greater Toronto Area, Vaughan has seen a surge in high-rise construction in the early 21st century, almost all of which is residential.[1][2][3] The city is home to 19 buildings taller than 100 m (328 ft) as of 2026. Eight of them exceed 150 m (492 ft) in height, the second most in Ontario after Toronto. Alongside Mississauga, Vaughan has one of the largest collections of tall buildings in the GTA outside of Toronto. The tallest building in Vaughan is the 190 m (623 ft), 59-storey CG Tower.

The earliest high-rises in Vaughan appeared in the 1980s.[4] Vaughan was incorporated into a city in 1991, and plans emerged for a new business and commercial centre at the intersection of Highway 7 and Jane Street.[5][6] The Vaughan Corporate Centre, as the district was then branded, was approved in 1998 to become a focal point for business activity and major commercial development.[7] The area was renamed Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC) in 2009.[8] In the 2010s, new buildings in Vaughan started to reach over 100 m (328 ft) in height. Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station, which opened in 2017 when the western branch of Line 1 Yonge-University was extended to the area, improved the city centre's connectivity to Toronto.[9]

The height of new developments increased substantially in the 2020s, with multiple towers surpassing 150 m (492 ft) in height. Major projects include the Transit City and Festival Condos developments, which consist of five and three towers respectively. CG Tower, completed in 2024 as Vaughan's tallest building, is noted for its shape, resembling stacked, cantilevered boxes, as well as the brick-embedded precast panels on its façade.[10][11][12] The 3131 Highway 7 plan, one of several proposed schemes for Vaughan, includes skyscrapers up to 74 storeys tall.[13][14][15]

Vaughan's tallest buildings are mainly located in Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, located near the city's southern border with Toronto. There are a smaller number of high-rises around the Promenade shopping centre, east of VMC. The tallest building there is Promenade Park Tower II.
