1. I nominate Commerce Court West completed in 1972 by I.M Pei in Toronto. It was the largest stainless steel-clad building in the world when completed.

Height (struct.) 239 m 784 ft

2. Jardine House, Hong Kong

3 First Canadian Place, Toronto

- When completed First Canadian Place was the tallest high-rise in the world outside of New York and Chicago.

- Tallest highrise in the British Commonwealth from 1975 until the completion of Malaysia's Petronas Twin Towers in 1998.

-It is currently the tallest highrise building in Canada.

Height (struct.) 298 m 978 ft
