I was just basing it off the height of the main pod of CN, which at ~1100 feet and in the foreground, should appear noticeably higher than Mirvish.

I understand your reasoning, but that would only apply if the pic was taken from ground (or lake) level. It looks like the airplane was at about 700 meters when the pic was taken, and we are looking down on Toronto. The base of all buildings farther away will appear to be higher up than closer ones. Look at Aura, tucked in behind CN, it's tip is almost at the height of the skypod.

Here is my newest future Toronto render, with as many 122 metre + (400 feet) towers as I could manage to fit in, and a bunch were completely or partially lost when other towers were added in, so there are actually more than what I labeled. There are approximately 80 - 90 towers added in or altered by myself. (buildings under construction for instance)

From that angle there's definitely more of a plateau between Aura and the CBD.
What a great load of additions to the skyline we're getting.

You can see the gap between FCP and M & G where there are almost no tall proposals... that's where city hall is, and the shadow bylaw...

That is true, but at least there is some infill that doesn't leave Aura standing out on its own.

Toronto's already-impressive skyline is truly becoming world-class.

Interesting how it runs away from Lake Ontario, along the Yonge line, rather than along the waterfront like so many other cities (such as Chicago or Boston.)

this is true. bc of the way the transit works up along Yonge.

Gee Koops, kudos for providing transfusions to this forum and thread.. 3.5 year gap and a couple of replies as fuel.

RealCity's correct explanation of Toronto's 14k or so n/s built form, notwithstanding (transit/subway), I'd suggest that the waterfront skyline (most photographed) stands up just fine compared to other most N.A. waterfront skylines (plus outliers like "mini-Miami"-HumberBay).

Maybe it's time for a T-Shirt giveaway (ur images?) to get some more interest here.

Yours truly
Late to the Party
