The Toronto skyline continues to change and the city is set to welcome a series of skyscrapers in the years to come.
Toronto continues to outpace every other city in North America for the number of active cranes, with 121 cranes currently erected across the city, catapulting Toronto into a league of its own for future developments.
As you read this, there are a number of towers in both pre-construction or currently under construction that will redefine the city's skyline, including both condo towers and non-traditional office spaces. (Though some are being delayed due to COVID-19.)
Let's take a look at the towering new additions coming to our fine city's skyline that will reshape it for years to come.
