context_page_description: This list of tallest buildings in Yellowknife ranks skyscrapers over 30 m tall in the city of Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Yellowknife is the capital of and largest city in the Northwest Territories and the second largest in Northern Canada. As of 2011, the city contains 3 skyscrapers 50 m and over, with a further 7 high-rise buildings that exceed 30 m in height. The tallest building in the city, and the NWT, is the 17-storey, 60 m Centre Square – Northern Heights. This building was constructed in a postmodernist architectural style, representing the city's efforts to add visual interest into the skyline. The second-tallest building in the city is the Watermark Tower, standing at 50 m tall with 15 storeys.
  Having a population of almost 20,000 people, Yellowknife has a skyline that is disproportionately large, considering its size, population, and location. This is due to Yellowknife's position in a vast resource-rich area in Northern Canada, a region larger than India. More specifically it is the capital of the Northwest Territories which compose a large part of Northern Canada.
