Today's Photo of the Day is a very cool (and somewhat spooky) image uploaded by Forum member Travis (with photo credit to LeftCoaster of skyscraperpage) of the growing density along Ted Rogers Way/Jarvis Street. On the left side of the photo, the Couture is nearing its maximum height next to the X Condos that were completed in 2010. Located to the right of the X Condos is the site of the X2 Condos, which when complete and fully occupied will dramatically increase the density of this neighbourhood.

Couture & X Condos await X2

These tall towers are a stark contrast to the mostly low- and mid-rise structures that line this busy downtown corridor that was once home to many of Toronto's wealthiest citizens. Today, the mansions that have survived serve as restaurants, bars, and small bed and breakfast hotels.
