Didn't knew 1 Bloor was so far from the main cluster. I don't think it will have any impact on the skyline...

^ its location is exactly why it will have a massive impact on the skyline... nearly twice the height of buildings in the area.

Thanks Big Daddy. Glad you enjoyed.

When ROCP 3 and 1BE are complete the east or west view of the Toronto skyline will be something along the lines of looking at Manhatten from New Jersey

Or Hong Kong City from Kowloon.

Toronto skyline will be massive. - Don't just get the lake perspective in your head. The most impressive views of the Toronto skyline are from the east and/or west where the it's size becomes mind boggling.

incredible work sir.

And we're looking probably just 3-5 years down the road for all of these projects to be finished. Just imagine what could happen if the boom continues as it has... or what impact 3.8 million people moving to the GTA in the next 20-25 years will have. It blows my mind.

I think it's one building - 18 York.

Some of the hoarding was taken down, I assume this has to do with the sidewalk closing signs and the steel.


Its really sweet to see the building at ground level, no-more hole.


The final, nice november day in TO.
paul on UT!!

Thanks for the update guy!!

Great to see that Aura (RoCP3) has been green-lighted by the City and OMB at the requested 75 storeys.

An 800 footer at Yonge and Gerrard will seem incredibly tall and create a lovely peak in the north south skyline between the financial district and Yonge/Bloor.

Re: Aura,...Now that’s beautiful architecture - vastly superior to the "post in the ground" at Yonge and Bloor!
