That look will never change either, the towers are being built behind the 1800's/1900's two storey commercial buildings on the service lanes that abut onto the Yonge Street properties. Some of the older commercial buildings are being restored though to improve their appearance.
Examples of buildings built behind the strip
or service lanes)
Nicolas Residences
WOP - 194 meters
Massey Tower - 208 meters
FIVE Condos
Karma Condos - 165 meters
Some of the newer buildings built right on Yonge Street/ have no historic components because they were not there when the tower was proposed or built:
Aura - 273 meters
YC Condos - 198 meters
Proposed
Teahouse Condos - 175 meters
The One - 328 meters
