I was in Toronto again last week. I'm still blown away by the number of cranes in the area - they're everywhere. Are there a lot more proposed buildings for the Harborfront Centre/Queen's Quay/CN Tower area? The new construction in that area is really fascinating. What is that neighborhood called, anyway?
I was walking there on Wednesday and created a photo thread out of it. There are a crapload of photos and a cool pano from the park next to the old Steamwhistle Brewing building. Check it out if you have a chance:
The new construction below the CN Tower is called City Place. 19 new towers in total up to 60+ storeys to be completed by about 2011. Maple leaf square featuring a 48 and 52? storey tower appears to be a sure thing will go up adjacent to the air canada center. I haven't agreed to placement of all tall towers in Toronto but the size and placement of these two should really have a positive effect on the skyline. After 2010 the cities intent is to move new water front development east of yonge street.
I was just in Toronto for the weekend and stayed next to the old Maple Leaf Gardens. Just curious-any plans for it? It may be old news-just don't know. Also 1 King West looks great. TO is starting to have that skyscraper jungle effect in that area by the skydome looking like an Asian skyline. The last time I was in TO you could see the skydome while driving in-unreal development going on up there.

West of Spadina - Cityplace
Between Skydome & ACC - not yet named?
Queens Quay East - most likely will adopt the name East Bayfront
most of the vacant land in the areas has firm re-development plans (possibly a hundred buildings)
