SFU, on Burnaby Mountain, surrounded by the UniverCity development. Port Moody and Coquitlam Centre skylines in the far background.

Holy crap they have added a lot up there. I remember looking at the initial plans and didn't recall seeing so much density.

A different angle of Brentwood that I haven't seen anyone capture yet (from Google Street View). At this angle, all the buildings are juxtaposed against each other making it look more dense:

Given its perfect perch along the 200m high ridge and it’s amazing backdrop, Metrotown is Canada’s most photogenic suburban skyline IMO. It is funny that sometimes Americans arriving via the 99 / 91 mistake it for downtown Vancouver.

Viewcone restrictions), are able to create such beautiful skylines for their own town centres. In fact, some of these will become the future downtowns of this region (Metrotown in the city of Burnaby & Surrey Central in the city of Surrey).

In the GTA area, many of the skylines in the suburbs are still part of the City of Toronto.

well, they were independent boroughs when they got started (Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, York, East York, Toronto). Mississauga was never part of Toronto, neither was Vaughn, etc.

These buildings are a misfire.

love these from their profile view or at certain angles.. at their widest they leave something to be desired.. but I think once they top 25-26 floors from now, the added height will help the overall effect.

Probably the only place in Canada that has prominent things named after a college football coach. SMU were a very big deal back in the day .... and so was he.

The colour and choice of materials on the balconies took these from a B to a C-. Toothpaste green glass? Nothing can recover from that. These could have been quite spectacular it they'd chosen better.
