There are a lot of towers under construction not pictured there although most are just at a site prep or excavation phase so not very interesting. A lot of urban infill type construction is lowrise. Dartmouth in particular is going to get a lot of new towers relative to what is there today.
The total crane count is probably in the 30-40 range or maybe higher (I think it was 36 or something a while ago). I would say the new crop of buildings coming up generally looks a bit nicer than the current ones pictured here, although the quality was actually better around the late 2010's. Part of what happened is that the bank office leases were up so they moved into prime new office buildings (TD, BMO, RBC), and a new convention centre was built. Queen's Marque is part office and got Stewart McKelvey, largest law firm in the region. These days there is no office demand but tons of demand for housing. It is more that the type of project shifted rather than architectural standards backpedaling.
