While urban canyons are normally how we see our most built-up streets, a view of a more distant building rising over closer ones can be read more as an urban mountain or range even. Here, looking across Adelaide Street just east of Jarvis, the most recent addition to the area, Celeste Condominiums, rises over closer buildings, adding another layer of development, boosting the area's contour count with a new peak.
