Moncton's city view in 2006

The city of Moncton and its surrounding areas, like Dieppe and Riverview, make up the biggest city in New Brunswick, Canada. When you look at the city, you'll notice the Bell Aliant Tower. It was built in 1971 and stands 127 meters (about 417 feet) tall. That's like a 32-story building! It's the tallest free-standing structure in all four Atlantic provinces.

The very tallest building in Moncton is Assumption Place. It has 20 storeys and is 80.8 meters (about 265 feet) high. This building, along with two smaller ones next to it, was finished in 1972. The second tallest building is the Blue Cross Centre, which is 43 meters (about 141 feet) tall and has 9 stories.

As of 2011, Moncton has one skyscraper taller than 80 meters. It also has nine other tall buildings that are more than 35 meters (about 115 feet) high. There are even more mid-sized buildings, between 20 and 35 meters tall, spread across the city.

Moncton's Tallest Buildings

This list shows Moncton's tallest buildings that are at least 35 meters (about 115 feet) high. We measure their height based on standards from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH). This includes things like spires and cool architectural parts, but not antennas. Very tall towers used for observation or broadcasting are also listed for comparison, but they aren't ranked like regular buildings. The Bell Aliant Tower is one example of such a tower.
