It's obstructed in the previous two images, sandwiched between Union Centre and 145 Wellington.
Here's another angle where you can partially see 160 Front:

Here's a first-look at the updated Midtown Yonge-Eglinton:

Here are two infographics I've shared on Twitter featuring growth in the Downtown Core. I'll repost them here:
1/2
Since the start of the Condominium Boom, residential development in Toronto's Downtown Core has vastly outnumbered the construction of other building-types. This trend continues to be realized, with current and future development as illustrated in this graphic.
2/2
This visual highlights skyscrapers in Downtown Toronto exceeding 200 metres in height, emphasizing areas where future height and density are being proposed in contrast to what exists today.

Very cool. How are you defining "mixed-use"? Also it seems like some hotels are being counted as residential (51 Camden is the one I noticed)?

That’s right. An error on my end, 51 Camden should be highlighted as mixed use. Thanks for pointing that out

No problem! A few others off the top of my head with a hotel component -- 1 Yonge, Nobu Residences, Mirvish + Gehry, 60 Mill St.

Awesome work!
You are missing a bunch of projects in Regent Park though (presumably because the City's development application website is a complete mess for Regent Park. Seriously, the entire neighbourhood under one application file?)

Agreed. It’s a challenge to keep this accurate and up to date, resulting in some missing builds. And a little more difficult to navigate the dev app site lately since it was redesigned.

Several more infographics from Twitter:
1/4 (*This one is very similar to one I did a few years back)
This illustration of Toronto and New York City (Manhattan) informally compares the skylines of both cities as they appear in 2020. NYC = 82 completed buildings over 200 m TOR = 23 completed buildings over 200 m
2/4
A look at Toronto’s evolving central waterfront, with a focus on high-rise developments in the South Core and Lower Yonge Precinct.
3/4
Several skyscrapers are set to rise along Yonge street in Downtown Toronto, including the 85-storey YSL Residences (1), which began construction in 2019 but has since been halted. If completed, the project will rise to a height of 299 metres.
4/4
Throwback Thursday: The evolution of Toronto’s skyline from 2010 - 2030 (projected).

Great stuff Steve!
I used to do much crappier versions of your NYC silhouettes behind Toronto “style” skylines comparisons back in the city vs. city days of ssp. On my Xmas wish-list would one of yours with Chicago silhouetted and Toronto... but including “proposed” projects.
I recently did a "By the Numbers" built, u/c, proposed TOR-CHI comparison in an existing 'compare' Politics thread, along with a bunch of editorializing (especially about CTBUH criteria and what's a skyscraper? lol), but the punch-line was this:
“...for fun I decided to add in just 25% of the Toronto proposals (24 skyscrapers) and 25% of the Chicago proposals (3 skyscrapers), to arrive at my informal built-construction-proposed snapshot:
TORONTO = 119 skyscrapers (using my 150m +/- 1 metre metric)
CHICAGO = 105 skyscrapers (using my 150m +/- 1 metre metric) … Toronto will one day be the number 2 skyline in North America imo….”

Cheers and thanks again for your spectacular renders (my favourite thread).
