    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Hard to believe the RBC building is almost 50 years old. I remember watching it go up as a kid.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    If they don't mind springing for a couple more letters, it could be renamed "The Ounce".

    Toronto Concord Sky | 299m | 85s | Concord Adex | a—A

    It'll look like a squared-off version of TD Terrace.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Man, the Gardiner's in REALLY rough shape.

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I'm not in construction, but one reason could be because it's easier to deliver large items, supplies, and heavy equipment to a given floor when there aren't any windows in the way.

    Benito can't share coffee with the workers, but he just might be able to toss them a roll of toilet paper in an emergency

    Toronto The One | 328.4m | 91s | Mizrahi Developments | Foster + Partners

    I remember everyone joking about @Benito passing coffee over when they reached eye level. Can't believe that day is here. I also can't believe the building is only a third of its (requested) height.

    Toronto Westin Prince Redevelopment | 103.63m | 32s | Haven | BDP Quadrangle

    There wasn't an overall Japanese theme; I was talking about the one suite they modeled after a Japanese inn, as referenced in the 1973 clipping above.

    Toronto Forma | 308m | 84s | Great Gulf | Gehry Partners

    These are going to be amazing buildings, but I still wish they'd stuck with the 2013 cladding, even with only the two buildings. That would've been an absolute standout.

    Toronto Westin Prince Redevelopment | 103.63m | 32s | Haven | BDP Quadrangle

    Wow does this bring back memories. My mom worked in PR for the Prince Hotel in the mid-70s; I got to see the Japanese suite and we ate at the Katsura on the regular. I can't believe it's still there.

    Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

    Holy mackerel, I remember those tile mosaics when I visited the Eaton Centre as a teenager.
