The New SUPERTALL Skyscrapers Coming To Toronto Canada

The New SUPERTALL Skyscrapers Coming To Toronto Canada

Toronto is growing and it’s growing fast. New digital renderings show just how many new towers will pop up and transform the city’s skyline as the population booms in the coming years. Toronto’s population demographics estimates that 3.5 million people will call Toronto home by 2030, which is a 30% increase compared to today. As a result, many new towers will soon rise above the city. By 2030, there will likely be more tall buildings and supertall skyscrapers on the city skyline, as Toronto overtakes Chicago as the city with second highest number of skyscrapers in North America. Today let’s explore the upcoming supertall skyscrapers that will reshape Toronto’s Skyline.

The infrastructure is still the number one problem in Toronto. When are the high tech sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure going to be built? In addition, the new subway/LRT lines are way behind schedule. When are they going to be finished to accommodate the million more residents in 2030?

There is nothing esthetically pleasing about the current new condo buildings and skyscrapers in downtown Toronto. No nice sized balconies to speak of, robbing people of an important outdoor space; ugly (and I mean ugly!) shapes. They're building small boxes and expect people to pay over $1M for that crap. I've never seen anything like it. The way the city robbed it's citizens of what used to be beautiful spaces for everyone to enjoy and great is now concrete and steel. It feels cold and looks dead. It's depressing. There just is no common sense that went into the growth of the city. I guess Toronto doesn't have a city planning commission and if they do, they're just interested in money.

One of the reasons I moved out of Toronto was housing affordability.
It doesn't look like that will change any time soon.

[DrRestezi]

AI chatbot got drunk before narrating this promo clip. There is very little that is aesthetically pleasing about any of these structures (some of which won't even get built).

Context for people outside Toronto reading the comments: Don’t pay attention to most of the folks crying about all the new development. Most of these people are usually uninformed and want to go back to the “good old days” when Toronto used to be a small relatively conservative city which would destroy Victorian buildings in favour of parking lots. Most of the buildings had soot on them because of all the factories on the Lakeshore and Portlands. Somehow they think that was the “good old days”….I call it the darkest period in Toronto’s history.

In the 70s Toronto began to change and set the foundation for what they are now becoming and in the 80s it became a boomtown….the 90s were a bit slow again in terms of infrastructure development, but then the 2000s rolled around and Toronto just ballooned and it hasn’t stopped since.

Pay zero attention to those complaining. It’s usually folks who are jealous of the city’s rise OR boomers who think it’s still 1964.

Simply awesome what’s happening in this dynamic and multicultural city! To all the people criticizing Toronto, rapid growth comes with challenges and you should probably appreciate that you’re not living in one of the many stagnant or dying cities in the United States!

Encampments must not be forgotten. Tents and shanty towns also need significant upgrades for a growing population…

Tried to watch this but stopped watching.
As with some music videos the creator made the video annoying by switching the image every three seconds.
There's no need for that.
Again, that's just annoying for the viewer.
Maybe that's how some people go through pictures on some dating sites and maybe that's how some people go through a stack of boring vacation photos that an annoying colleague in their office insist they look through but one can't appreciate a photo in 3 seconds.
Do better - don't edit videos like you're editing a pop music video and for that matter don't edit pop music videos like that.

Some very cool buildings coming soon. Love it!!!

Whoops! Why do you have a shot of Vancouver's waterfront at 2:28? And at 6:08 your Zoom-in of the Entertainment District is some residential area north of the Entertainment District.

[calumashleymcdonough]

Very informative video! A few whoopsees.. at 2:28 you show a shot of my hometown of Vancouver, not Toronto. Also, at 6:10 you zoom in on some random Toronto neighbourhood, not the Entertainment district.
But otherwise, a solid A minus on your video. Thanks!

[r.c.brousseau]

Many of these projects showcase beautiful towers. Bravo to the developers. That said, I find super tall skinny buildings, especially those that around the perimeter of New York City’s Central Park, to be ugly.

[tertur]

Then you emerge from your luxurious home and are surrounded by scores of homeless beggars and tent cities. Magnificent!

[andygrenn]

Always have respect for the under ground Canadian Shield. Billions of years hold Canadian Shield bedrock still has strength to support all the current architecture plus the future massive buildings to come. Canada’s Canadian Shield is the quiet player in all this Toronto construction bonanza…

[roysmallian]

Seems almost crazy. They're building more commercial space down town. What about the concept of working from home.

[GoWestYoungMan]

Union Park is NOT under construction. The rest of the video is accurate.

[StacyJames-mu]

I bought a unit at 1 Yonge simply because I loved the address and wanted it in my portfolio. When we closed, the actual address was 28 Freeland Street. I was pissed! 😡

[fredwong]

STOP focusing so much on how TALL the next building will be because it means absolutely nothing to the average people living and working in Toronto. Most of us cannot afford the smallest units in one of those residential towers. FOCUS on the overall quality of life instead. I've heard so many family doctors, including mine, moved out of the city because they want their families a better quality of life not just becoming salves to the big banks working 100 hours a week paying interests for their mortgages for 30 years.

Disclaimer: I used to be an architect and worked on a couple of those towers before.

If I had $4 million to spend on a property this is definitely what I would want. A condo right next to union station, where you can’t drive and are surrounded by 3 million people every time you step outside 🤡

[anthonymichaels]

$4 Million just so you can hear your neighbours fart.
