While Toronto does have a surprising number of pre-war towers downtown, they are largely hidden from view except at street level. And we could have had a lot more. Unlike Montreal (and many other cities), the heart of Toronto's CBD never really shifted from the existing focal point of King/Bayish and many of the existing bank towers replaced former bank or other buildings. Some of which were quite opulent in their own right - just look at the remains in Guild Park.

I always wonder what Toronto would look like if the modern CBD would have been built adjacent to the old. That being said, the intense concentration of bank towers is quite unique.
