Near Future Renders

[dt_toronto_geek]

The photo of the day by Mike in TO inspired me to hash together a render. One Bloor is going to dominate Y & B in the near future.

Nice job on a stunning photo! Did you turn on more lights in Uptown?

Thanks. Yeah I finished Uptown and added some lights, but I should have added lights to Crystal Blue and BSN as well.

 

[gristle]

Yes! That's its new name.
Mods, can you update the 1bloor title to "The Vagina Monolith" please?

The balconies look kinda like teeth.

The "Vagina Denta" maybe?

the height of 1Bloor looks shorter here than in the other recent future skyline render from the west.

Traynor, I must say your renders are much appreciated by all. Great work and thanks for posting so many of them. If I may put in a request however, it would be nice to see a future render of Mississauga's skyline. Hopefully that isn't too much work for you lol.

 

[Traynor]

Thanks so much. I'm really just an amateur who likes to draw.

I would do a Mississauga render but I'm sadly not very familiar with their future projects. I would also need a photograph that best shows the part and the point of view of the skyline that you wanted to see.

I think somewhere between the 2 extremes lies the correct height... but its nice to have a general idea of what things will look like.

A better view of the future Yorkville thanks to a wider photograph from Urbandreamer.

From left to right I included:

The Florian, Yorkville Condominiums, Milan Residences, Four Seasons Hotel & Residences, completed One Bedford, One Bloor, completed Uptown, Couture, X2 Condominiums, Chaz on Charles, a tiny corner of 75 Nicholas, U Condos I and U Condos II and 5ive Condominiums.

Great work Traynor. I love these things.

While I truly love the seeing Toronto's skyline grow (anywhere), Traynor's render illustrates how the Yorkville skyline can't hold a candle to its southern counterpart, in terms of scale and style.

^ Wow! It looks like Toronto is going to get a secondary skyline...

Tertiary or Quaternary if you include North York and Mississauga.

Excellent work!

Don't let any Mississaugans hear you say that!
But good point.. I just meant kinda like NYC had midtown and downtown skylines.. Bloor is midtown and the CBD is downtown..

And don't forget that Aura will jut up between those two.

I'd love to see a future render looking west from Broadview across Riverdale Park -- that is one of my favourite views of the city, and one that will be radically changing in the next few years.

Don't forget about the Scarborgh City Centre skyline, the Yonge Eglinton Skyline and of course 427.
