The Waterloo Regional Municipality is a large urban area in Southern Ontario comprising the cities of Waterloo, Kitchener and Cambridge, all of which have populations over 100 000. In the Waterloo Region, there are 31 buildings that stand taller than 50 m (164 ft). The tallest building in the area is the 18-storey, 78 m (256 ft) Clarica Building,[1] in Waterloo, while the tallest building in Kitchener is the 66 m (217 ft) Canada Trust Centre, and in Cambridge, the 50 m (164 ft) Black Forest Condominium. The majority of the high-rises in the area are in Kitchener, though Waterloo does contain a significant amount. Cambridge has only 8 buildings that exceed 35 m (115 ft).
