Wow did that ever shoot up fast! And to think that it's 7 floors taller than the other tallest tower in that development...these buildings will look so great from so many vantage points! They should do a development like this in Ottawa or Gatineau..

Observed this, and other projects on the rise from the Gardiner this afternoon (we were on our way home to Ottawa, and decided to go across downtown to have a look at stuff for a change of scenery from the 401 or 407, our usual routes). I gotta say, this development looks awesome from the highway with the parkland and the lake backset behind it. It even looks larger and taller in scale in person than in the pictures...

These are pretty cool and to think a few people on another forum think they look ugly just cause the 'hats' are plain looking, give me a break

When I see these towers I think of the stuff that gets built in Dubai.

I've been travelling through Humber Bay Shores a lot lately and these towers are growing on me. They're architecturally unremarkable, but the hats and shape is kind of neat and quite fitting and appropriate for its location. They look good in context to its location. HB Shores is the Miami Beach of Toronto for me in terms of skyline.

What these towers lack in design merit, they make up for in their location on the lake. It's almost like a resort setting in the heart of the city.

This one has now topped off.

Etobicoke Shores now has one tower over 500ft/150 meters.

Next up is 200 meters with Eau Due Solial

Not so fast. The residential floors (44 of them) have topped off, but the mechanical sail which will add 50+ feet and bring this one to 500ft is not yet completed.

They fit the theme of the Etobicoke shore. Very nautical.
