What's coming down the pipe to keep Aura company?

YC Condos (198 metres) will go up right at the very right edge of that photo. It's already approved and nearly sold out.
The Icon (207 metres) is actually several blocks away on University Avenue, but from that angle will appear to go up just about where that gap is to the left of the smokestack. It's also already approved but sales haven't started yet.
There's not much else in the pipeline in the immediate vicinity, but there are a couple of other sites nearby that should easily be able to handle 150-200 metres.
It's unlikely that anything nearby will ever top Aura in height, except for maybe the World's Biggest Bookstore site, which is more of a long term play as the developer who recently bought it for $50 million is going to turn it into a restaurant row in the short term.
I'm interested to see the gap between Aura and the CBD fill up with 150-200 metre towers. Massey Tower and 2 Queen West will help out in that regard in the short term.
