The reason Toronto can look like it's not that full is due to the reason it has multiple skylines. It's not like Calgary or Vancouver or many other cities where all their tall buildings are clustered together. Toronto has North York skyline, then another cluster at Yonge & Eglington, another at Yonge & Bloor, then the downtown cluster which is finally merging with Southcore and Cityplace (which is why the most impressive skyline shot will always be from the island as it picks up all three of these areas), and then there's Etobicoke Lakeshore which is about to get a massive 750ft tower, and then there's random clusters at the 427, and then another whole massive skyline in Mississauga.
Toronto is massively spread out, the fact that we can say that our skyline is already one of the nicest in North America is amazing. And we also have more buildings u/c, planned, approved than any other city in Canada and in North America. Things are only going to get better and better over the next decade as hundreds of new buildings "fill in" the gaps.
