^^^ It's hard to believe that there are 5 skyscrapers under construction in that photo!

Encore just started shoring on the bottom of the photo.

This whole forum would have laughed at us 10 years ago if we said this would happen to Edmonton!

Still can't believe the balconies on One Bloor aren't done yet. I guess the rest is done and occupied.

Cold, you and I have been on this forum about the same length of time. You might remember back then 2002/2003 that the Waterclub Condo, in the foreground, was one of the most exciting projects in the city back then along with some 27-32 floor towers at Cityplace.

Crazy.

To many eyes, that would not be identifiable as Toronto. Great cluster there.

The blue glass on Waterclub was definitely a departure from all the green glass and precast.
