Today marks 5 years since this thread was created!

Looking back over the past 5 years, I believe that Vaughan Metropolitan Centre has been the greatest new skyline addition to the region. It is exciting to see that continue to fill in.

Midtown's E Condos meanwhile has certainly put it on the map with an exclamation point, as has Eau du Soleil at Humber Bay Shores. What major skyline additions to these regional sub-centres can we expect to see over the next 5 years?

Mississauga might be the one that's going to change the most, with m city, exchange district, and square one condo and office projects all planned to be built soon

Indeed, this half-decade may well be Mississauga's, which means that UT is very lucky to have @Jasonzed 's drone around

Though things will be interesting with development applications accelerating in places like Oakville and Pickering.

Another area that we may soon start taking skyline photos of is the Golden Mile in Scarborough.

Here I am borrowing @ProjectEnd 's map of what is to come:

It's interesting how the GTA's third-largest city - Brampton - doesn't have much of a skyline to speak of. In fact, the Bramalea one is probably moderately more impressive than the downtown one.
