Wow....you can see from the Harbourfront area/waterfront, to that slabby building near the St. Lawrence market to Midtown (Yonge and Eglinton)

I'd be unsurprised if someone lived near the lake to get this skyline view every day.

We lose roughly 215ft from that location. If they ever built a 65m observation tower over there you could see the island in front of the skyline. We lose about 15-20 floors off of the buildings.

It's not really fair to compare any city to that metropolis. How I envy their density and scale. Jacksonville, the Manhattan of skylines.

That Edmonton shot with the bridge in the foreground is amazing. I’m so jealous of that new tallest, looks like a beast already and I believe it still has a ways to go? Well done Edm

Great Winnipeg shots there. Especially in comparison to that Jacksonville shot someone posted. I'm sure Jacksonville has the taller skyscrapers and is probably the bigger city, but it's so sparse compared Winnipeg.

I was just think that the comparison does paint a pretty clear picture between the general differences between Canadian and American cities.

The new Walterdale is indeed amazing.

The tallest is topped out and crowing. (I will be here all week)

Stantec is the second tallest with 26 floors to go, or 50m taller than that current tallest

Jacksonville looks like the Niagara Falls skyline.

Very nice. Love the length of the skyline with the two new additions.

Not usually a fan of over photo-shopped images but this one looks cool.
