Good to see Montreal getting some much needed density and glass towers in the skyline, but that looks like a tabletop in construction.

I finally got around to updating my future Toronto model, but it still needs a lot of work. Minimum height is down to 70 metres. Hopefully I can bring that to 60 or even 50 metres next time. Please let me know if you spot an error so I can fix it.

I'm sure urbanists at City Hall are aware of that terrible menace and are working around the clock to find a suitable solution which will prevent Montreal's skyline from suffering such horrible outcome.

lol à Montréal on est habitué, lorsqu'on regarde le tissu urbain de la ville, c'est du ''tabletop'' à grandeur. Les gens sur skyscraperpage stress un peu trop pour nous.

Before the Montreal skyline 'grows up', I want to see it fill out. that's what's happening now, thank goodness. There still some ugly and spacious lots left to build on. And we've already reached the phase where smaller, older high-rises are being torn down to rebuild taller. Toronto-style height won't come until there is a real pressure-cooker need for it. That will not happen in our lifetimes.

Hey, talking about Laval!
I had a little bit of time and I did this very quickly (therefore I'm sorry for the awful quality) with a screenshot from Google Earth and some basic Paint.NET.
It includes all approved or proposed projects in central Laval as far as I know... and as accurate as possible!

Cool nicely done!

But, all these scattered developments still won't give that suburb of over 400,000 a note worthy skyline.

Reminds me of KW's skyline.
