List of tallest buildings in Abbotsford, British Columbia

None of Abbotsford's tallest buildings are among the tallest in Canada, but are generally taller than the tallest buildings in the nearby cities of Chilliwack, Richmond and White Rock, though Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby and Vancouver all have taller buildings. This may partly be explained by the fact that Abbotsford is close to Metro Vancouver but is a metropolitan area in its own right. This has spurred highrise development and the city continues to build and propose towers going even higher, prompting the creation of this list.[1]

Abbotsford has always been a city of low-rise construction. In Abbotsford, there are 8 buildings that stand taller than 50 m (164 ft). The tallest building in the city is the 5-storey, 75 m (246 ft) Mill Tower.[2] The tallest modern, residential building in the city is Garden Park Towers, standing at 57 m (187 ft) tall with 17 storeys.[3]

As of 2011, the city has 2 structures under proposal.[4] If completed, Mahogany Tower at 80 m (262 ft) will be the tallest building on mainland British Columbia outside of Metro Vancouver.[5]
