It's that time of year again! After another 365 days of citybuilding, we are back with our twelfth annual UrbanToronto Year-End Readers' Poll. Brought to you this year by our friends at Diverso Energy, the poll is your chance to vote on your favourite new buildings completed across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area over the last 12 months.
Included are projects where we have photographic confirmation of completed buildings, so there may be a few 2025 completions that won't appear in the poll until next year, while we are including a few projects that were completed in late 2024 but didn't have good photos at the time of last year's poll.
While we provide one image for each building here, no building can be fully described by just one photo, so if you are unfamiliar with a project, you can click on the project link to go to its thread where you will find many more images. (Photographer credit can also be established by clicking on the links.)
There are 121 buildings in the poll, another record number for you to choose from. The candidates are grouped in height categories, so you have eight favourites to select, one per category:
- 6-7 storeys — 14 projects
- 8 storeys — 12 projects
- 9 storeys — 7 projects
- 10 storeys — 9 projects
- 11-13 storeys — 11 projects
- 14-15 storeys — 12 projects
- 16-19 storeys — 12 projects
- 20-25 storeys — 10 projects
- 26-32 storeys — 11 projects
- 33-39 storeys — 11 projects
- 40-49 storeys — 5 projects
- 50+ storeys — 7 projects
In the case where more than one building was completed in 2025 in a multi-phase project, then the project is found in the category representing the tallest building in the project, ie if both a 10- and a 15-storey project were completed this year, the project will show up in the category where other 15-storey buildings are grouped.
Click here to vote — up until 11:59 PM on January 11, 2026. We will announce the winners in the second week of January.
In the meantime, spread the word! The more votes, the better the poll reflects peoples' feelings about the way the area is developing. You do not need to be an UrbanToronto member to vote. Voice your opinions on this year's candidates and share the poll on social media using the hashtag, #UrbanTorontoPoll. Click this link to go to the survey now… and have fun!
