Love those London shots.

Nice work on your ongoing project, koops. Thanks for sharing it with us. I have lost track: what are the other same-height buildings directly surrounding Rosedale on Bloor?

koops65 · #5 Posted **Jan 13, 2020, 1:32 AM**

Thanks... 603 Sherbourne, 591 Sherbourne and the already completed Selby.

Toronto on track to have more skyscrapers than Chicago, but will quality match quantity?

Toronto has the 3rd highest number of skyscrapers in North America

It's no secret that Toronto is getting taller. You can see the evidence throughout the downtown skyline and beyond. But what Torontonians might not know is that their city could soon outstrip Chicago in the number of skyscrapers over 150 metres.

According to statistics from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, Toronto has 67 skyscrapers, 31 are under construction and 59 are proposed.

Chicago's skyline now boasts 126 skyscrapers, but the city only has 19 buildings proposed or under construction.

This means in a few years, Toronto could have 157 skyscrapers while Chicago would sit at 145, bringing Canada's largest city to second place in North America after New York's 284 skyscrapers.

John Straube, associate professor in the department of civil engineering and the school of architecture at University of Waterloo, says this is a milestone that's been on the horizon for a while.

"Part of the reason we're getting a lot of skyscrapers is because we're a younger city, we're reaching our peak," Straube said.

"Chicago did that more than 30 years ago."

A model of the city is displayed at Toronto's city hall. The chief planner says as Toronto becomes more of a global city, there will be an increasing level of creativity in the newer skyscrapers. (Talia Ricci/CBC )

There is obviously no comparison when it comes to quality. Chicago’s architectural tours are a mainstay of their tourism industry for a reason.

Well in fairness there's a lot more going on Chicago than just "quality." A lot of the attraction with things like architectural tours are buildings with historical significance because of either their age, their status as landmarks in design heritage, or both. I'd argue that a city can have high quality (solid designs, materials, etc.) even without similar "significance."

I've noticed that even with all the construction going on, Montreal is still going to end up with a fairly "table-top" skyline. Right now it has a gappy table-top, and it's heading for a more filled-in table-top.

Very similar to Ottawa, only higher and with more interesting architecture (it's true).

Sweet! Except I've just realized the 455 R-L (approx. 145m) is missing. It should have quite an impact on the skyline.

Those London renders look like that city will have a real skyline in the near future. :O

This decade will be a very good decade for London. Half of the proposals in the image are already under construction, and you can be assured that there will be many more coming through in the next few years.
