I don't think the "Yorkville skyline" will, when all is said and done, extend any farther than Belmont/Davenport and west to Avenue Rd. For the foreseeable future, those are the realistic northern and western borders for that cluster, at the very most, but maybe I'm talking out of my ass.
What's the latest on Holt Renfrew? I'd particularly like to see that one get approved and underway.

That's Toronto's problem, from a skyline fan's perspective. There isn't really one vantage point where everything can be captured, certainly not North York and Scarborough in a shot with downtown, let alone Mississauga, which isn't part of TO. Plus, there are the beginnings of a pretty decent skyline at 401/Leslie/Don Mills.
One unsung vantage for seeing downtown and Yorkville is Allen Rd. south of Sheppard. Sure, it's a tad distant from downtown (15-20 km), but it's on a higher grade with a descending sightline, and Downsview airport to the south permits an unobstructed view downtown. I drove through there a couple of days ago, and Aura and Four Seasons, along with the old CBD, were standing tall.

DiD some video and photo updates today
