Canada Malting Silos, Industrial heritage site in Harbourfront, Toronto, Canada.

The complex features fifteen concrete silos reaching 120 feet high and additional storage bins extending to 150 feet near Lake Ontario.

Constructed in 1928, the Canada Malting Company used these concrete silos instead of traditional wooden structures to reduce fire risks in grain storage.

The industrial structure influenced early modernist architecture through its minimalist design and functional concrete construction methods.

The site remains closed to the public while the City of Toronto evaluates proposals for converting the space into a municipal history museum.

A circular office and glass workspace were integrated into the industrial complex during expansions in 1944.
