This was the easiest one. L Tower, despite its many flaws, it's still by far, my favourite high rise this year. Aura turned out better than expected, but I think most had low expectations to begin with.

Beyond L Tower, the competition is unremarkable. Even Gooderham is among aA's worst efforts--a busy facade of too many lines and angles and a heavy and inelegant mechanical penthouse.

Of all the polls created so far, this one has the worst candidates. It seems like the taller the buildings, the more mediocre the design.

Really? 7 have already voted for Aura? That developer shouldn't be encouraged.

Even worse, two people voted for Milan.

Well, now we know how many people involved with that project are on this site.
