It definitely does, too bad the glass still doesn't match though. I wonder if they will reclad the bottom part too...

Toronto is just ridiculously massive! crazy to think how much is still coming up too.

It'll be cool to see both ICE towers with all the lights on from people living in them. It will really add that much more of a punch to the skyline. Same for L Tower. Amazing shot though. Will always be my #1 vantage point for Toronto skyline shots. It creates the most dramatic effect.

So do I. If Halifax had grown as fast as Toronto since Confederation, they'd be more than 3 million people there today.

Canada's 5 largest cities in 1871
1. Montreal
2. Quebec City
3. Toronto
4. Halifax
5. Saint John

The skyline is huge by Canadian standards About 2 km N-S, and 3 KM E-W.

Thanks! It's a Samsung WB800F with 21x zoom and adapted for 42x zoom. Basically a point-and-shoot on steroids.
