I'll third this opinion! Plus, it was clearly annotated with concise captions.

Uptown definitely could have been better.. but it also could have been much, much worse..

Listen, I give the name on photo updates as well. When necessary. Don't think anyone is actually demanding to know the intersection of the towers.

lol, I spent three days in Mississauga last year. The first was fine, I went to the mall and took pictures of all the highrises. By the second day I was bored because there was nothing to do.

Yes, North York Centre is buzzing with pedestrian streetlife. Mississauga just has cars buzzing around. Very Big Difference between the two.

Of course in Mississauga's defense, it does not have two subway lines like North York Centre.

As promised, even thought it's a week late. Here's some pic's of Solaris Condo's I took today. Sorry the quality isn't that good. My wipers don't clean the windshield that well when it's covered in salt and it's hard to keep the camera stable when your driving. All pictures were taken from Highway 401.

Not a huge fan of Solaris ^^^
the glass screams crystal blu and the podium is YUCK!

But thanks for taking the time to do the update! there are too many low-radar projects on this list!

I got to admit it's not the best looking towers. Especially when it's overcast outside. They are also weird in the way that they are fat looking at them from the east/west and skinny from the north/south it kind of throws me off. (Like an experience I had at a bar one night). I could tolerate the towers designs, but the one thing I hate is the monstrousity of the podium. It's mainly all parking and it's doesn't do anything to benefit the towers.

Except for the 350,000+ people that use that stretch of the 401 daily.

Unless you meant outside of Canada - since there won't be to many pics of these on the internet. Or tourist, as the airport is on the other side of the city and of course Scarborough being the major destination that it is not, then I'd agree.
