Roughly 1/2 of new office construction in the GTA is downtown right now, so downtown is absolutely growing. There is upwards of 5 million square feet of office space going up right now (and much, much more planned).


Toronto is getting like this because of some genius planning out of the Province, anti sprawl legislation and the largest greenbelt on the planet (which has been extremely popular and many are calling to be further expanded) has forced development upwards.

The latest provincial election win means that transit will now likely follow suit in terms of rapid expansion. Toronto is going to feel so, so much larger in 10 years than it did 10 years ago. I think it will feel much more like a "mini Manhattan" than a large regular NA city.
