I didn't even know we were 2nd.

1. Toronto - 173 (71 UC)
2. Calgary - 56 (8 UC)
3. Vancouver - 48 (6 UC)
4. Montreal - 41 (6 UC)
5. Mississauga - 19 (4 UC)
6. Edmonton - 15 (3 UC)
Wow, so Toronto and Mississauga have more projects than the other cities combined?

Toronto has more 100 meter+ projects than the other cities combined, yes of course.

In the next 2 to 3 years Toronto will come back to the pack. Probably only slightly ahead of Vancouver Metro by 2016/2017 with Calgary and Montreal close behind as well.

The developers in Toronto are peeling off construction capacity. Once construction capacity is gone there will be a very, very long time to ramp up agian. Also a lot of workers will move to Alberta when things get slow, adding additional burdens on ramp up.

Wowzers. This has turned out to be a particularly great page. A few major cities were certainly treated with justice here!

^ That last shot of edmonton is awesome

I know there are tons of Calgary shots already, but a few more can't hurt

I am by no means as great as some of the photographers in this thread, but here are my excellent iphone skills

(any of you photoshoppers, feel free to use these for future-skyline pics if you want)

The colour. Even when the sky is blue here in Shanghai it's a much more washed out blue than the beautiful deep blue it is in Calgary.

I sometimes take for granted things like blue sky, fresh air, and pristine nature. It's something we need to be reminded of once in a while.
