If you want a fair view of the city from a vantage point, you could try Casa Loma (Spadina Park is adjacent, good view)
Other skyline views would be from the Toronto Islands or Tommy Thompson Park.

Thanks.
Whenever I go to a city with lots of tall buildings I think about this, although we have mountains with lookouts and helicopter tours that can also offer the visitor a similar feeling.
I hope that the city's first supertall can offer the service in the future since it has an interesting distance from the CN Tower. I think it can allow the observation of the city by other different perspectives. If I'm not mistaken, it will be built next to Yonge St., a good reference, due to the large extension line.
Buildings over 200 meters are a good starting point for observations, but not all of them offer this service, especially those with mixed use function, with hotel/s and residences within the complex.
I also like to appreciate the urbanism that is made in these skyscraper complexes, usually exquisite, with important shops close by and a beautiful architectural work on the set.
