Everyone is entitled to their opinion and that's why the voting system is here. I think the skyline is very good and seems to be adding new buildings/more density monthly. But it still has a ways to go to catch Chicago in terms of more supertalls. I think I gave it an 8.5 but it's moving towards a 9 now. 10 being something like NYC to me.

And with the current construction boom it will be even more awesome in the next few years :) DZH22 November 6th, 2011, 09:02 PM Well...no one has ever said it has caught Chicago. Nor New York. Let's just enjoy the great photos being posted here, and judge the skyline on what it is!:yes: Just the fact that Toronto is being mentioned with those cities (even if it is still a distant 3rd) shows how much the skyline has improved, and is continuing to improve. When I visited 9 years ago, there were only about 10-11 500' towers, which was really unimpressive to me being from Boston (land of the 500' tower). However, now I think there is closer to 30, with no end in sight. Toronto's boom has been AMAZING. It is far and away North America's 3rd best skyline, and the perceived gap with Chicago will most likely close over the next few years. New York, on the other hand, is about to go to a whole other level with all the supertalls coming, but by 2025 or so, 2nd place in NA might be in reach for Toronto :) softee November 7th, 2011, 03:55 AM ^ Yeah, it's amazing how much the city has changed in such a short period of time. If you include buildings currently under construction, there are 38 500+ foot buildings in the city now, with many more proposed. jonray November 7th, 2011, 04:26 AM http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6118/6320938246_a606ef695c_b.jpg VIEW FROM REGENT PARK isaidso November 7th, 2011, 06:00 AM View of downtown from Yorkville's new Four Season's hotel: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6040/6292589127_f8dce0a6f7_b.jpg Courtesy of vegeta_skyline Spoolmak November 7th, 2011, 11:17 AM Wow. Each shot is more stunning than the last. In my opinion, the waterfront shots are an 8.5. But every other angle it is a straight up 10. The density, the new towers that are adding so much diversity to the skyline...and the way that it is set up. I love how the CDB just dominates, whilst the lower highrises scatter as far as the eye can see.

However, the buildings are pretty boring. isaidso December 15th, 2011, 08:49 PM What wins for me is the CN tower - love love! However, the buildings are pretty boring. Toronto is ultra conservative when it comes to design. It's the staid Scottish heritage permeating through everything. Whenever something flashy, opulent, or unconventional is proposed, the establishment start going into convulsions. I used to remark about how boring most of the buildings are, but gave up. It is what it is. There are tons of exquisite buildings all over the city, but they're all very classic or traditional in their design. TD Centre, Commerce Court North, the Royal York, Scotia Plaza, and Royal Bank Plaza are all beautiful buildings, but are about as daring as Toronto will go design wise.

I guess it's cause the roads are more spacious and there are more greeneries in the city than I'm used to. However, I really love the city. I do like to see more creativity in the buildings. Nothing really stands out, but when you put them clusters all together though, they look nice. I know that many people hate the city hall, but I actually thought it looks better in person than in pictures. I think Toronto is in the top 3 in N America. romanito December 19th, 2011, 04:48 AM 10/10! Taller, Better December 19th, 2011, 06:36 AM Toronto really looks more massive in pictures than when I visited it last October. It is what it is.... our touristic impressions are based on many factors; what streets or neighbourhoods we visited, if we were driving, or on foot... our mood, if we were drunk/sober/happy/sad.. etc.. There are many cosy little neighbourhoods in Toronto, which can give an impression of being a smaller city, but the photos just show what is there. That last picture is just a projection of what it will be like if and when all of the u/c and proposals are finished. :BANANA: December 19th, 2011, 08:48 AM Stunning! 10/10 SO143 December 19th, 2011, 10:39 PM http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6532507503_7e48a24161_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffersonphotography/6532507503/) Love at First Sight (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffersonphotography/6532507503/) by Jefferson Photography (http://www.flickr.com/people/jeffersonphotography/), on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7143/6532516831_01c04ce5ef_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffersonphotography/6532516831/) A Very Fishy CN Tower (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jeffersonphotography/6532516831/) by Jefferson Photography (http://www.flickr.com/people/jeffersonphotography/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6215/6317152104_7fdd4f3ce8_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvantum/6317152104/) Good Night Toronto (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvantum/6317152104/) by vlad TO (http://www.flickr.com/people/kvantum/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6211/6323897883_5ca037d5b9_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48476323@N06/6323897883/) Untitled (http://www.flickr.com/photos/48476323@N06/6323897883/) by prestonk (http://www.flickr.com/people/48476323@N06/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6056/6294102018_5e3351a50d_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefan_ogrisek/6294102018/) Downtown Toronto at Night (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stefan_ogrisek/6294102018/) by Stefan Ogrisek (http://www.flickr.com/people/stefan_ogrisek/), on Flickr http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6234/6317156112_1c060c1eec_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvantum/6317156112/) Old City Hall (http://www.flickr.com/photos/kvantum/6317156112/) by vlad TO (http://www.flickr.com/people/kvantum/), on Flickr romanito December 19th, 2011, 10:43 PM ^^ Is an impressive metropolis Toronto, thank you very much for the photos.

Interestingly, despite massive intensification the footprint continues to grow at the same time. The core will likely spread all the way east to the Don Valley by 2015 as the West Donlands/East Bayfront get built in time for the Pan American Games. At that point, I'd rather downtown just got denser and taller. The area bounded in dark green is part of a massive re-development called East Bayfront which ends next to the Don River pictured. As you can see, east of downtown is screaming out for intensification. http://urbantoronto.ca/picoftheday/images/AerialFromEast-ORC.jpg Courtesy of Ontario Realty Corporation Jay February 4th, 2012, 05:53 PM Toronto has a great skyline, at least 8.5 out of 10!

Toronto is doubling(or tripling) the skyline now, in the next few years, I'm sure Toronto's skyline will surpass Chicago's as well as the city(not the metro) population. As much as I love Toronto, not really. Toronto is muuch smaller than Chicago skyline wise, less than even half the size... so it's not passing it anytime soon, even with new development. At the end of the decade, Toronto could have up to or more than 70 150 meter buildings (It currently has far less than that), Chicago already has about 110 or so, minus any current development. Plus Chicago has 4 massive supertalls, Toronto would need a new tallest or two. I'm not saying Toronto isn't impressive, I'm just saying Chicago is in the top 3 or 5 for world skylines. As far as population goes I could see Toronto city passing Chicago, mainly because they are laid out differently, Chicagoland as a whole will hit 10 million before the decades end though. If I'm not mistaken Toronto should be up to 7 or 8 million or something like that. Anyway Toronto has a great skyline, Proud to have it here in NA! 9/10!:) isaidso February 8th, 2012, 08:33 PM Agree. Toronto's growing like gangbusters, but there's quite a large skyline gap to bridge. There are 75 buildings 150m or taller built/under construction/proposed in Toronto, so even when these are all topped out around 2016, Toronto will need the boom to continue right up to 2020. Maybe in 8-10 years Toronto will have caught up, but there's lots of building still to do. Good times for Toronto. softee February 9th, 2012, 05:48 AM ^^As of the new numbers just released from the 2011 census, the Greater Golden Horseshoe (comparable in area to the Chicago CSA) was at just under 8.7 million people.

If I'm not mistaken Toronto should be up to 7 or 8 million or something like that. Anyway Toronto has a great skyline, Proud to have it here in NA! 9/10!:) I agree that TO's skyline is still behind Chicago, but I don't think it's any smaller (at least not half the size of Chicago's). Chicago's skyline mainly extends along the shore (downtown core), whereas TO's skyline extends far up north into the suburbs along Yonge St for over 10km (if NYC's included probably 15-18km). For instance, none of the "downtowns" of Chicago suburbs are comparable to Scarborough Town Centre, not to mention North York Centre or Square One. There're quite a few project going up on Yonge St. north of Steels (20km north from waterfront) as well and I think that's where the future York region centre will be. Here're the numbers from skyscraperpage. TO is actually ahead of Chicago in terms of both buildings and highrises. http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?10=1 filcan February 10th, 2012, 01:27 AM ^^Good point. Toronto is unique amongst other cities since it doesn't just build up in one location. Toronto's boroughs and suburbs also have skylines that can rival that of other cities. Imagine if all the highrises/skycrapers in the GTA were put together in one location it would probably be the third best skyline in the world (behind Hong Kong and New York respectively). isaidso February 10th, 2012, 02:05 AM Toronto's skyline would look bigger if all the highrises were downtown, but it wouldn't be anywhere close to 3rd. It would be lucky to move up 1 spot considering there's practically nothing over 150m outside of the core. Taller, Better February 10th, 2012, 08:07 AM Warning... these type of city to city comparisons usually spur angry denunciations! Especially any mention of Toronto and Chicago in the same sentence.

Would you sooner they be parking lots instead? We'll take what we can get. Taller, Better March 22nd, 2012, 08:47 PM The new wave of projects on the go now in Toronto are coming up with new shapes and some new finishes. There is a big difference in the situation of Vancouver and Toronto but I will not get into that here as this thread is just about Toronto. Hopefully Toronto won't suffer what Vancouver has with these condominiums sprouting everywhere Don't forget; condos represent people. They represent an increased density, and an increased downtown population. There are a lot of people, including myself, who see this as a good thing and not bad. Sarcasticity March 22nd, 2012, 08:49 PM I don't get all the fuss about Vancouver's condominiums. Would you sooner they be parking lots instead? We'll take what we can get. There are people who have strong reactions to those condominiums. They're not exactly aesthetically pleasing when the city is so beautiful and naturally blessed. But they serve as great fillers to Toronto's every growing skyline, but wished they had filled in more inland than lined up the coast Taller, Better March 22nd, 2012, 08:53 PM ^^ These towers are not being planned for, or going up on the waterfront. They are being built back. They are relatively close to the Harbourfront in the sense that all of downtown is relatively close to the waterfront, but they are not being built on the water's edge. Our city is spread out along the lake; it is not possible to wish that people do not want to move close to a beautiful lakefront in order to enjoy it. Sarcasticity March 22nd, 2012, 08:58 PM ^^ These towers are not on the waterfront. They are being built back.

Our city is spread out along the lake; it is not possible to wish that people do not want to move close to a beautiful lakefront in order to enjoy it. Thanks for clarifying. I didn't exactly mean on the edge, but close to it. Either way, Toronto is absolutely beautiful regardless. Im visiting again this April 28 so hopefully I can take some pictures of this beautiful city. Where is the best vantage point to take pictures? Quall March 22nd, 2012, 09:13 PM I'd prefer to see more development along the waterfront personally. The view from the Islands is one of the most prominent views of the skyline and arguably one of the worst. The setback of the main cluster makes it appear shorter and you can't see anything beyond it. anak_mm March 22nd, 2012, 09:48 PM yeah from those famous views.. the lake looks nice but Toronto looks like it has a much smaller skyline than it actually have Taller, Better March 22nd, 2012, 10:01 PM ^^ I understand what you mean, but I think much depends on what a person is looking for. The view from the Toronto Islands provides the wallop of "WOW" factor, because of the lake. You can't see the bulk of the city, as it runs north of the lakefront. But, I wouldn't say the view from the islands is "the worst" ! :) Here are some pics I took three years ago. It looks a bit different today, but will updated my island pics this summer: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/dawnd_01/IMGP6033ii.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/dawnd_01/IMGP6043ii.jpg and from the year before the two above: http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j251/dawnd_01/IMGP0169i.jpg I think the general line of thought now in our city is that the actual lakefront belongs to everyone and we should avoid building towers right on the edge, but rather try to keep it open to the entire public. But, most of these towers are going up within walking distance of the harbourfront, which in my opinion is ideal; people should be able to live, work and play both downtown and close to the water. christos-greece March 24th, 2012, 12:43 PM ^^ Those were great shots Taller, Better; and i would like to see recent similar photos (by you or another) :) Elkhanan1 March 25th, 2012, 08:36 AM http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6663630109_c553147405_b.jpg http://www.flickr.com/photos/concretechronicles/6663630109/sizes/l/in/photostream/ christos-greece March 25th, 2012, 11:30 AM http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7268/6867171978_6f1bf6b607_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/omargudjonsson/6867171978/) Sunset over Toronto´s skyline (http://www.flickr.com/photos/omargudjonsson/6867171978/) by omargudjonsson (http://www.flickr.com/people/omargudjonsson/), on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7274/7006821423_5075d9f6a8_b.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/edk7/7006821423/) _DSC2185 Anx2 1600w Q90 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/edk7/7006821423/) by edk7 (http://www.flickr.com/people/edk7/), on Flickr Jasonzed March 26th, 2012, 12:19 AM from today http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/jasonzedd/Toronto/DSCF2588.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/jasonzedd/Toronto/DSCF2577.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/jasonzedd/Toronto/DSCF2566.jpg http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii108/jasonzedd/Toronto/DSCF2585.jpg Taller, Better March 26th, 2012, 05:05 AM Thanks, Jason... you find some amazing angles to shoot our city!
