Heavy machinery back to work on the large site excavation only a month after the sale of the project to developer Pemberton. 33 Yorkville is one of a number of active projects stalled due to Cresford’s (the original developer) financial woes.

It's absolutely astounding to see the amount of development going on in Toronto. Dizzying, really.

Crazy part is probably half of it isn't even posted in this thread. Seriously.

Toronto in 2030 will be quite a city.
if all the proposals are built Toronto would have 75% of the numbers of skyscrapers as New York has now or more than New York had in 2010.
I still feel that Toronto building boom is still very much under the radar for people outside of Canada.

It's really only skyscraper nerds on sites like this and some tourists who realize what's happening here. Toronto is going through one of those rare times when a city rockets ahead for decades and emerges at the other end a global powerhouse. If this boom can last another 30 years people might draw parallels to NYC 1850-1950 and LA 1900-2000.

If one takes inventory of 100m+ buildings the totals are telling. I used Greater Toronto Hamilton (BLUE) and the New York CSA (GREEN) as it speaks better to the shifts happening in each urban region. Limiting analysis to city cores negates a lot of the growth occurring in each. I used the SSP database. I'm not sure how accurate it is but this is what it says.

100m+ Buildings Completed: 866 vs 333
100m+ Buildings Completed + U/C: 905 vs 461
100m+ Buildings Completed + U/C + Proposed: 981 vs 849

Toronto: Toronto, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Hamilton
New York City: New York, Fort Lee, Guttenberg, Jersey City, New Rochelle, Newark, North Bergen, West New York, Franklin Township, White Plains

NY Times story on 92-old Frank Gehry which features some M+G model photos and thoughts on his hometown project: “My grandmother’s street is just up there,” Gehry said, pointing to a rendering on the wall. “My grandfather’s hardware store was here. So I hung out on this street.
“The city gave us extra height,” he added, “because it was me coming home.”

This index is wildly inaccurate and should not be taken as gospel. I have no doubt that Toronto leads the pack by a good margin, but they are obviously missing a lot. Note that they do not show any cranes in Texas at all. In reality, Austin alone has as many as Calgary, and possibly even D.C. Dallas and Houston probably have similar numbers as well.

Also, NYC obviously has more than 10 cranes.

The list is released every year and usually has a fairly accurate count for Toronto but hilariously inaccurate numbers for the rest of the cities.

10 cranes in NYC seems accurate to you? Also, an interesting crane count would include LA, Vancouver, a full NYC crane count, and especially Miami.

Agreed. It was already pointed out that the New York number was obviously wrong. I was just providing more obvious examples.
