Canadian City Skyscraper Proposals (150m+)

Here is the table-top in question. A dozen proposed towers between 195 and 235 metres... not very flat in my opinion.

Like how 1KW and Scotia rise from between shorter buildings on King. I don't mind the shorter buildings being that close together tho; in fact I kind of enjoy it.

Agreed. Add to this: these buildings are too close to the waterfront. They'll destroy the layering in Toronto's skyline. All you'll see is a wall. isn't what we should want.

Yeah, The eastern waterfront should it get built will be a 150 to 300 metre high wall from Yonge to the Portlands.

I'm a fan! For a suburb skyline, I love Burnaby when coming in from the east. Can't wait to see this addition to the skyline!
