That last pic shows quite the long line of towers! And all suburban only!

Beyond any shadow of doubt, Toronto and Vancouver are the kings of suburban skylines in Canada, and perhaps, in North America.

I never realized Calgary had such a tower cluster in the suburban area. That's some good density. Is it served by the CTrain?

Metrotown and Brentwood are both Burnaby yes? I'm fairly certain it is... just wish to confirm. That Metrotown pic is stellar!

It parallels the entire south line, the original segment of the CTrain. The south doesn't have nearly as many towers as the northwest does - at 20 and 33 respectively - so I'm surprised you didn't know about our suburban towers.

Isn't there a skyline node at Burquitlam too? And Edmonds? And Lougheed?

Yes Burnaby has several skylines. However most consider Burquitlam/Lougheed to be one in the same.

The skyline nodes in MetroVan are starting to get hard to keep track of.

Off the top of my head there are:

Downtown
Broadway
West Van
North Van
North Van near the Iron Workers’ Memorial Bridge (a few towers)
Marine Drive near the Canada Line (started 7 years ago)
Marine Drive near boundary (very new)
Oakridge (about to be very impressive)
Downtown Richmond
Downtown White Rock (relatively new)
Joyce
Metrotown
Edmonds
Brentwood
Lougheed
Burquitlam
Downtown New Westminster
Uptown New Westminster
Ioco
Downtown Coquitlam
UBC
SFU Burnaby Mountain
Downtown Surrey

I know I have missed a few and this doesn’t include lone towers.

Also a few of these as they expand are starting to merge with each other.

The skyline in Toronto especially in a municipality like Mississauga with the Marilyn Monroe buildings I can never get enough of that skyline.
