context_page_description: At a municipal population of 1,267,344 as of April 1, 2018, and a metropolitan population of 1,469,300 as of July 1, 2016, Calgary is both the largest city and largest metropolitan area in the Canadian province of Alberta. Standing at 56 stories, 247 m, the tallest building in the city is Brookfield Place. The second-tallest building in the city is The Bow, standing at 58-storeys, 236 m. The third-tallest building in the city is the 60-storey, 222-metre Telus Sky, which surpassed the 215-metre Suncor Energy Centre upon its completion in 2020. The Calgary Tower is included in this list for comparison purposes; however, it is not ranked since it is not considered a habitable building.
  Calgary's history of towers began with the Grain Exchange Building, the Fairmont Palliser Hotel, and the Elveden Centre. Building construction remained slow in the city until the early 1970s. From 1970 to 1990, Calgary witnessed a major expansion of skyscraper and high-rise construction. Many of the city's office towers were completed during this period, such as the First Canadian Centre and the Canterra Tower office towers.
context_section_description: This list ranks buildings in Calgary that stand at least 100 metres (328 ft) tall, based on CTBUH height measurement standards. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Freestanding observation and/or telecommunication towers, while not habitable buildings, are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked. One such tower is the Calgary Tower.
