Hmm their First Baptist project seems a little larger than it will actually appear as it's further from the vantage than either Trump or Shangri-La and shorter than both.

Kengo Kuma. BIG's tower would be on the other side of downtown from this vantage.

Still there unfortunately. None of these towers are taller than 200m

That's a great rendering, Koops, and it looks like it took you a lot of time and effort.

However, I get the sense that that view is what a telephoto lens would see, not the naked human eye.

If I hovered in a balloon 1,000 feet above the Glen Road bridge (which is where this vantage point seems to be from, if I had to guess), I feel that Financial District and the CN tower would appear more distant and smaller, and so would all the proposed towers down by the foot of Yonge street.

Thanks guys...

Yes, that's exactly what it is, zoomed in with a telephoto lens effect. I did that to cut off the left and right of the image and have the frame filled with skyscrapers. I'll make one with a "natural" view next. Or, I could make one that appears with a reverse zoom, like a fish-eye lens effect. I really need to update YSL as well...

Very Manhattanish!!!

The core, although the area can't get any bigger, it will certainly feel bigger.

The proposed Television City 131.5m is taller than Landmark Place (Century 21), tallest in Hamilton.

I feel like we've seen several proposals for towers in Hamilton (many of them approved I think) but are any of them under construction? We don't see much on here or perhaps Hamilton peeps don't post construction pictures?

Could someone recap the tall towers in Hamilton and their current status?

22 George St is under construction. The unlabelled yellow box behind Stelco tower is also under construction. The Royal Connaught is still proposed, it's part of phase 3 however that's a safe one that will probably get built.

The Connolly is dead as the owner went bankrupt, however there's rumour a new owner has been found. Television City just started to go on sale.

You mean to tell me they destroyed that church leaving only the front façade for nothing???.. I hope not. Something better be built in the Connolly's place to salvage that historic church. WHat happens to all the people who've bought into this project?
