This is a cool shot, but my complaint is look at all that empty space. Can be filled with 300-500 solid and large towers. Hopefully not too far off anyways.

Well for right now I might agree with you, I think there is potential in Yorkville to throw up some really distinctive and super large towers to rival anything anywhere across the country. It's basically a little island of Vancouveresque Real Estate Prices, combined with the Toronto propensity to build very very large.

That first shot, has some nice ugly parking lots. Thankfully, the crane at the bottom is killing one of the parking lots that use to be there, hopefully the other parking lots will bite the dust soon.

Article defending Ottawa form its biggest critics; Ottawans. Along with stunning picture of the eastern face of the CBD.

found this one while looking for Investors Group Field pics.

The tree canopy is crazy, it makes a lot of neighborhoods look like parks in this picture. There are homes beneath most of the green in this picture.

Ya over Photoshoped images are a pet peeve of mine. Unless it's just to correct the values or go black and white.

It seems that TDC2 and 750 Peel's north tower would be visible while 750 Peel's south tower would be pretty much hidden behind Tour de la Bourse.

500 Place d'Armes/Banque Royale should block a good deal of 600 Peel (missing below) north towers but it's south tower might be pretty clear of obstacles!
