Fascinating stuff! I've never been to Toronto or set foot in Ontario for that matter. I'm a lifelong Vancouver resident and look forward to traveling one day to this city whose skyline may one day rival New York's! Impressive how TO has developed. Thanks for this man!
Still looks busy but actually new things are all dead in their tracks. They can't get enough units sold to get funding from the bank to start.. so sites are just sitting there with nothing being done, it takes a few years to build something so even if they start tomorrow, it'll be years before people can actually live there.
The thing I love about Toronto, but also hate but also love is that there are so many twin towers or triplets and they’re not like small and they’re not like mass manufactured basic buildings. It’s like incredible stunning monstrous towers and they’re just built in pairs all the time and it’s universal. It’s the Frank Geary project and it’s those funky ones with the cool like camo texture on the waterfront and just like everything everywhere there’s so many twins and it blows my mind how quickly the city is developing, and it just is an incredible thing to see. I was just in Toronto recently for the first time in several years and my god it is an incredible sight
Not completely opposed to condos at the Rail Deck but the city should negotiate for more park space over the rail yard - current proposal doesn't provide enough. The area should really try to mimic Millennium Park in Chicago.

8:40 “Technically it’s Etobicoke”. Etobicoke is a borough in the city of Toronto. What an asinine comment; Etobicoke is just as much a part of Toronto as downtown is. There are a total of six boroughs that constitute the city of Toronto.
Cool. I used to live on the Esplanade in 1980... on the waterfront, in a run down warehouse firetrap along with other artists and musicians. We paid about $250 a month rent. Area now occupied by million dollar condos.

Toronto will potentially have over 350 150m + buildings by 2030. Chicago will have around 140. The skyline is going to be insane. Once T.O starts building a few 400m + towers it will start to look like NYC does currently

Those Frank Gehry towers have been proposed for over 15 years. But I think the original proposal there were 3 towers. Either way, super excited to see those!
Good video. Some ppl really forget how big Toronto really is. These developments shown were just downtown. Except for the Humber Bay projects. Oh btw Humber bay is in Etobicoke, which is in Toronto.
Wow, the development is intense. I wish they protected the skyline a little bit, kept lower towards closure to the shoreline. Allow the CN tower to remain the tallest structure.
Just to bring the commentator up to the present, he stated the Humber Bay area was not in Toronto but actually in Etobicoke. Since the passage of the 1997 City of Toronto Act that brought about the 1998 amalgamation of Metropolitan Toronto and its constituents into the current City of Toronto, Etobicoke, as well as East York, North York, Old Toronto, Scarborough, and York have not existed. It is all the City of Toronto. Chimo
Dear Jordan, I wander if you heard about yet of the creasy proposal to develop the misused giant bloc of the 320 hectares on the Portland Peninsula on the East waterfront premium land. Is the SkyWalk Promenade Toronto Megaproject Tourist Destination (SWPT). Part of the project is proposing the tallest building in the world.
Tallest building in the world in Toronto seems very hard to believe lol although I wouldn't mind it we have trouble building anything taller than CNN tower 😄
This is exciting, but I suspect developers are mistakenly bullish on Toronto. I don't think productivity will meet expectations, and these towers won't be finished
Wow thank you for this interesting video. I will do a Semester abroad from september-december in Toronto. My biggest wish is to live in a furnished room in a skyscraper. Do you have any ideas, where I can find a room? I would love to hear from you
I was there in 1991 and I saw much potential , but an ugly lakefront. I'm from Chicago and nothing but parkland stands at the lake water. Damn Toronto sure messed it up and there's little individuality in their skyscrapers. Horrible. It's so congested. Take a look at Chicago and what it could have been. Our politicians passed laws to leave the lakefront for recreation...oh and the Chicago river adds , but you have one thing we don't , islands
bro this is the 6th video I've found of you commeting about calgary being better than toronto💀 like every time its "Toronto skyline is finally starting to catch up with Calgary City" If you where to cut the toronto sky line 5 times it would still be bigger than calgary.
What an appalling hellscape for the future of the city. I cannot understand how so many of these developments tout "office space" and "retail space" in their proposals. The post-pandemic work environment is widely hybrid. Office space isn't exactly at a premium. Also, online shopping has rendered many brick-and-mortar retail outlets obsolete. Finally, can the existing infrastructure support so many new residences in a concentrated area? This city is already very car-hostile and transit is strained and unreliable. To say nothing about the additional strain on water treatment. If you want an idea of how these developments will age, I suggest you look at St. Jamestown, our densest neighbourhood.
Hmmm I would be worried about 20k homes and the location. In 10 years it could be some type of abandoned mine city where you couldn’t give it away for free because it would still cost someone property tax.

They have built thousands condos in the past 10 years ,but 0 roads.

Etobicoke has been a part of the City of Toronto since 1998.
Great video! Would love to see you do one for Etobicoke, especially the areas from the 427 along The Queensway, Dundas, and Bloor to the Humber River.
So, no Chicago-like waterfront... tower upon tower upon tower, some patches of green here and there

where would this put us in global skyscraper rankings in the future?
Torontos already first in my heart
We're going to beat Chicago soon
Nice work
Awesome. Where they all gonna work

He's going to reach 20K before we reach 10K.

Re-checked the architectural plans they do have a connection via one
Cn tower won't be there
Why not
@@quacklesuh Demolished to make something taller...
Please no. Need more beautiful medieval style buildings. Modern buildings are so ugly.
Toronto skyline is finally starting to catch up with Calgary City.
Building are bigger too
@zevbronshteyn6815 just stating the facts.
I live in Alberta we don't use the term Calgary city 😄

What??? Lmao. Yonge and Eglinton has a larger skyline than Calgary
Toronto will not stop until they beat chicago 😂
Toronto GDP $600billion, Tokyo GDP $1600Billion, New York GDP $1600billion

I hope I’m not there anymore by then. Cheap glass towers all over , business people and no culture.
Toronto has tons of culture its not just people in suits and ties
Charmless greed. I remember when it was celebrated as “people’s city”. This architecture is all about how little you matter.👎
toronto is starting to lose its north american charm and look more and more like a middle eastern city, which is sad.
