That first shot of Toronto looks like a Lego set! And Harbour Plaza is amazing.

Strange... that's the opposite of what many have stated recently, especially the part about the dark crown, which wasn't shown on any renders. Someone even suggested the developer be sued, essentially, for false advertising. For not building what was shown in the renders.

Personally, I too think the Harbour Plaza twins turned out great, and will be an outstanding part of the skyline for many, many years...

I also think it turned out great and have no problem with how they topped them off. In fact if you look at the marketed renders the treatment proprosed actually looked a little busy in my opinion.

It's strange seeing a picture of Vancouver from an angle with no mountains. It almost looks like a different city in that shot.

^I like those. Better than the similarly tall Ice Towers (boring cladding).

Yep Edmonton has a pretty solid skyline. Really dense, and it's just getting started.
