Wow!!!

Just, look at the ice just hanging on that thing.

I finally found some updated pictures of the Toronto International Film Festival Tower.
This project is flying totally under radar.... (which is not a bad thing)

Glorious!

^Those are going to be some amazing buildings when they're finished. The model defintely outdoes the render when usually the reverse is true.

caltrane74 · #**108** Posted: **Feb 11, 2008, 3:28 PM**

And the "render" or "model" always looks way better than the finished product.

vanman · #**109** Posted: **Feb 11, 2008, 3:47 PM**

^Not always.

Yeah it would be nice.

But, I don't mind the new Toronto Style of chic glass boxes.

Minto Midtown - 160 Meters

That building is going to be a beauty. If this a spire on top and was any taller it would be even more sexier.

Fuck! How many units are in that building it looks massive.

WhipperSnapper · #**115** Posted: **Feb 18, 2008, 4:38 PM**

^538 units.

Residence of College Park is far bulkier with 660 units (why Toronto will never compete with Vancouver for most highrises per capita ... ours are just too big)

vanman · #**116** Posted: **Feb 18, 2008, 7:15 PM**

Yah here in Vancouver a building of 250 units or more would be considered very large.

Wow, Montreal's out again? (tallest U/C ~120 meters)

WhipperSnapper · #**120** Posted: **Feb 19, 2008, 3:35 PM**

^not yet as there is no indication that these towers have started construction. And, if Absolute is one entry shouldn't Sky Towers be as well which would keep Montreal on the board?

This list would look better and make more sense with the top ten added as a reference
