There are already quite a few condo/apartment towers on the edge of the escarpment and there will definitely be more in the future. There is already a mini skyline above the escarpment, just off the left of that future skyline photo.

Here is a screenshot from Bing 3D Maps that shows the escarpment edge's skyline (downtown is in the top right)...

The newest condo building along the escarpment's edge is The Madison which was built in 2008...

The views from the second floor of The Madison can compete with the views of Toronto's tallest buildings...
