Haha! Design Source Magazine, has gone out of it's way to mention the Toronto Skyscraper and Condo boom, again. This time in regards to the quantity of buildings under construction in Toronto. Which is currently leading all North American Cities in terms of overall pure construction projects, and the height of those projects. Over the past 10 years Toronto has become a construction behemoth, with North Americas largest highrise construction industry, and building the most skyscrapers in North America, with currently over 150 on the go, with hundreads more in the pipeline.
Here is an excerpt from the article so that if you are pleasure you can read more:
In terms of skyscrapers in the construction pipeline, Emporis has observed a skyscraper boom in Canada, primarily in the city of Toronto. The city is closely following in the footsteps of New York City’s skyline with 15 skyscrapers currently under construction, all standing over 45 storeys tall.
Toronto will boast 45 high-rise buildings by 2015, including the 277-metre Trump International Hotel and Tower.
Skyscrapers offering mixed-use environments are also on the rise.
“The vast majority of the buildings going up in Canada are residential buildings designed to be owner occupied,” says Keutenius. “We’ve found the taller the building becomes, the more likely it will be a mixed-use.”
