The skyline at the top, is the result of the Auto-Centered boom in the 905 during the 1950-1990's, the skyline on the bottom while bulked up to the max, has table-topped. One Yonge and Mirvish should help to correct that. Not to mention Cityplace-Signature.
Is One Yonge a go? If so, when is construction expected to start? It should have a major impact on the skyline from this angle. I don't know where Mirvish and Cityplace Signature are located, but One Yonge is right on the waterfront and it is very tall, and I would even dare to say it might add a Chicago/Lower Mannathan/Hong Kong touch the Toronto skyline.
Is it funny that the CN tower seems to make the rest of the skyline look so small as to seem irrelevant? While that above posted photo comparison from 2001 to now is obviously impressive, until I actually blocked the tower from view it was hard to register the full impact.
Also the streets fronting the north shore of downtown were actually added to the waterfront.
It has a little but Broadway definitely doesn't feel like an extension of downtown yet. With enough time, especially after the subway is built, I think Broadway will become very similar to the peninsula with a big canyon going all the way down.
