The tallest building in the city is the 43-storey, 130 m (427 ft) Landmark Place.[1] The second-tallest building in the city is Stelco Tower, standing at 104 m (341 ft) tall with 25 storeys.

As of February 2011, the city contains 15 skyscrapers over 75 m (246 ft) and 114 high-rise buildings that exceed 35 m (115 ft) in height.[2]

The tallest new development in Hamilton will be the 36-storey Residences of Royal Connaught. This multi-phase development will include the restoration of the Royal Connaught Hotel and the addition of 3 new buildings atop a seven story podium which features ground floor retail.

With Hamilton's downtown core going through a revival there are many new developments that promise to change the skyline dramatically.
