While not quite a top 10 list, there is this thread for recently completed smaller projects and under-the-radar buildings... http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=213822

One thing I don't like about One Bloor is that it seems top heavy.

I just love that angle. With Mt Baker in the background. The ocean as well as the mountains really make Vancouver look so impressive from many different angles.

This is not a slag on you or the photographer, but this picture looks like it's from 1978 or something.

Gawd I hate the blank wall on the Lithwick building. Why didn't they just cover it with glass...

omg.. you're right! I had no idea it looked like that?.. why on earth would they leave it like that.. it's not a bad looking building otherwise.

Not sure what's with the grainy look, it had to be intentional. Or very bad post processing. But that'a a nice shot. I guess taken with a drone?

I wasn't talking about the photo really, more the aesthetic quality of the buildings...

It could have been taken from the roof of a stubby office building on the south side of the 417 on Isabelle near Metcalfe.

These other pics are a bit less grainy.

Man, you are so right about that. All that's missing are the cigarette billboards and TV antennas.

That shot is also an example of an "only in Canada" skyline, but not in a good way.

Nice Calgary shots. East Village is turning out so well.

I haven't been to TO since 2012, and it felt like a totally different city from the last time I'd been in 2007...I feel like the next time I visit it'll feel totally new again.
