More to add to the list, watch for rezonings coming up:

1)306-310 Adelaide St W sold (these are that row of dingy Victorians on NE corner of Adelaide&Widmer) details of the listing w/ info:

There have been a couple extremely short-lived businesses in those two middle houses with the ugly new home depot doors over the past year or so (I think there was a hair / nails salon and also a very brief variety store?).

Meanwhile, Khao San Road, the great new Thai restaurant next to RaviSoups in the former Waterfall Martini Lounge (which was a horrible, ridiculous failure -- appeared on Restaurant Makeover and closed shortly after, lol), has line-ups out the door and 30-40 minute waits every day.

From the 12th floor of the Hyatt on King, looking north. I think this is the most appropriate thread since it looks on many of the future projects we can expect to see from this vantage point this decade :)

3)Allied Reit's King&Peter future office tower(s) project.

That was the former Gansevoort Condotel, TAS , 35s, Teeple site.
Looks like Monarch now is into the game in the Entertainment District...but 20.8 million dollars, Wow..expect a larger 157 meter proposal for this site.

Here's a quick video I did in Google Earth showing the entertainment district projects. The camera pans along queen street facing south, starting at Spadina. This area will be completely unrecognizable soon. Enjoy :)

Yes, the existing map is out of date. Unfortunately I am away on business all weekend, so it will be a while before I can update. But when I get back, it will be on my to-do list.

That's a great video! Talk about density - I can't wait to see all the development once it's done. Here's hoping the East side continues to grow as well.

At the end of the video, there's a whiteish building left of the Sheriton Ctr. What's that?
 
Here is an updated version of the map, with the numbers indicating heights in metres (the red numbers indicate heights that I estimated using floor counts). Grey indicates completed buildings, orange indicates buildings under construction, and green indicates proposed buildings. Only residential / hotel buildings are shown, not office buildings.
