You mean the Mississauga City Hall skyline...yeah it ain't for everyone that's for sure but Mississauga are building a lot of skyscraper like condos for that skyline experience

In the past 2 years a brand new TOD skyline had sprouted on the southern edge of the Montreal CMA, at the terminus of the REM line in Brossard.

Off the top of my head there are:

Downtown
Broadway
West Van
North Van
North Van near the Iron Workers’ Memorial Bridge (a few towers)
Marine Drive near the Canada Line (started 7 years ago)
Marine Drive near boundary (very new)
Oakridge (about to be very impressive)
Downtown Richmond
Downtown White Rock (relatively new)
Joyce
Metrotown
Edmonds
Brentwood
Lougheed
Burquitlam
Downtown New Westminster
Uptown New Westminster
Ioco
Downtown Coquitlam
UBC
SFU Burnaby Mountain
Downtown Surrey

I know I have missed a few and this doesn’t include lone towers.

Also a few of these as they expand are starting to merge with each other.

Put me down in the Burquitlam and Lougheed are definitely one skyline camp. I'd imagine in time uptown and downtown New West will meld into one as well. In certain angles it already looks that way due to uptowns location elevated above the main New West skyline.

Only one I think you missed (it's pretty forgettable) is Kerrisdale.

Kerrisdale always slips my mind.

What’s funny is how prominently you can see it from YVR.

I guess another minor one I forgot was Sapperton in New West.

White Rock perhaps?

"Downtown White Rock" is in his original list.

Thanks, missed that.

I love that White Rock has a skyline now too.

Maple Ridge also sort of has a skyline (there are about 5 towers around / over 10 floors.) But they are spaced out and the newest one is over 20 years old now.
