This week's Throwback Thursday shows over four years of changes to the Toronto skyline as seen from Broadview Avenue, overlooking Riverdale Park. Back in July, 2015, the southwest-facing view from the top of the ravine showed cranes marking the construction sites of (L-R) Backstage on The Esplanade, the topped-out L Tower, INDX Condos, the topped-out Pace Condominiums, and Studio + Studio2 on Richmond.

The same view captured at the end of October, 2019 shows that all those projects had since been completed, while a long list of new additions can be spotted on the skyline. This view now includes (L-R), Harbour Plaza Residences, CIBC SQUARE, Ten York Street, 88 Scott Street, Yonge & Rich Condominiums, 88 North, EY Tower, Ryerson Jarvis Residence, Massey Tower, Grid Condos, Dundas Square Gardens, Velocity at the Square, and Ryerson's Daphne Cockwell Complex.
