There are so many little towers going up in Toronto, I just stopped caring.

What I like is the density, the vibe at street level as more and more people move downtown. The entire place is just insane with people.

Great panoramic shot of the Toronto skyline by Steveve! I think it is from the balcony of the top floor bar of the old Park Plaza Hotel at Yonge and Avenue Rd.. For those who might visit Toronto, it remains one of the best places in the city to get a skyline view. It is also a very pleasant watering hole, cozy inside during winter, but airy in the summer. Though it is not inexpensive!

From the top of Museum House a couple doors to the west, but yes the lounge at the Park Hyatt is a great vantage point.

10 York is rising very fast and Harbour plaza is a true Icon.

Deceiving. The top right is the JW Marriott tower, not attached and the middle upper is an open plaza.

Still, though. Looks like it will be a very imposing tower.

Doesn't look like they are pushing to get those balconies done at all.
