St. John's is the largest city and metropolis in Newfoundland and Labrador with a population of 192,326.[1] In St. John's, there are seven buildings that stand taller than 50 m (164 ft). The tallest building in the city is the 11-storey, 64 m (210 ft) Confederation Building.[2] The majority of the high-rises in the city are in the downtown area, however the Confederation building is located outside of the downtown. The tallest building downtown is the 63 m (207 ft) John Cabot Place, with 13 floors.[3]
Due to strict height regulations in the downtown area, the city has seen very few high-rises built in comparison to other cities of similar size.[4] In 2010 the city amended height regulation for a small area of Water Street to allow for higher density buildings. The first development in this area will be 351 Water Street; at 47.4 m (156 ft) and 11 floors it is the tallest building set for construction in the St. John's Metropolitan Area.[5][6]
