Toronto Future Skyline with L Tower and Pier 27

Toronto Future Skyline


With the rapid accession of the Toronto skyline over the past few years, with respect to towers over 200 meters, over 150 meters and over 100 meters, Toronto is rapidly catching, or has passed the Chicago Skyline in significant milestones.

Now Toronto doesn't have any supertall over 1000 meter towers, and for it really to put Chicago in the rearview mirror, it will require at least 4 to 5 towers in the 1000 foot range and above. The good news for Toronto is that we have recently seen the proposals for massive towers which will change the skyline, alter it to the upside and over 1000 feet.

Those proposals, include, the Mirvish-Gehry Supertower proposal of Projectcore. We have also seen Oxford Place, with it's twin tower proposals reaching 1026 feet. In addition word was released this week, that 1 Yonge Might be home to two towers over 90 floors, one of which will be close to 100 storeys tall. Toronto is certainly reaching for another plain, and I'm sure Chicago is looking over their shoulder, wondering just what future proposals we may have that will push Toronto into the next stage of Skyscraper Development.

North York Skyline 

North York's Future Skyline Transforms and Takes Shape Just look at the growth of the North York Skyline as it rises from the green trees of North Toronto. Once a very sleepy farming village, the city has come alive with excitment as it has shorn its suburban image into one of a more cosmopoltian and free thinking niche neighbourhood. Built on the core of the Toronto Transit Network, called the Yonge Street Subway line, North York has become a 24/7 hipster destination.

 Currently it has it's two tallest towers under construction, the Hullmark Corporate Centre project being developed by Tridel along with Kirkor plans to become one of the prime commercial and residential spots in the northern suburb. Yonge Street which forms the downtown core and main street of North York, as well as Toronto looks great here with it's wide boulvards, and planted trees and flowers. A true landmark suburban community.
