Toronto City Skyline by Brian Guest (giant rebus), on Flickr[/QUOTE]

I've always liked the view from the east. From that angle, there are so few tall towers blocking the CBD towers, making them seem much more monumental.

toronto skyline is getting better and better and it's size has been growing so rapidly.

They do seem more monumental, but I prefer a staggered/layered look. I feel more grounded in a city that feels like it goes on forever or one that looks somewhat complete. For me, an abrupt change from skyscraper to low rise makes the city look like a work in progress and that the growth of the skyline hasn't been a lengthy organic progression. High rise to low rise over just a few short blocks also gives me the feeling that if I ventured another mile or two I'd hit wilderness.

PARKOUR! Watchaa! Fellow free runner and skyscraper fan, I love these people on here! What's the building that's under construction to the right?

I think what your asking about is the Berczy Condominium.

ScraperGeek · August 8th, 2012, 09:54 PM

I don't think its all that great. I hope the results end up looking like the one in the picture.

Toronto is rapidly closing in on 9.5/10. Probably the biggest western skyline change this decade, after Miami.
