Markham is a city in the Greater Toronto Area, located north of Toronto. Its growth has led to the emergence of low and high-rise buildings to reduce urban sprawl. Several residential high-rises reaching above 50 m (164 ft) have emerged in the 2010s, a trend that has intensified in the early 2020s. Most of the city's tall buildings are located in the area of Downtown Markham along Highway 7 from Warden Avenue to Kennedy Road and mainly residential structures.

Mainly a suburban area, Markham's buildings are mostly residential condos, hotels with a few office towers. Height restrictions were in place near Buttonville Municipal Airport that have been eliminated with the closure of the airport.
