The Sheraton really needs to go. Horrible.

Dunno about that. I have a weak spot for it.
But the street level and lobby need a complete and utter reno.

Good Downtown Toronto pics!
YYZer: I am guessing-thru process of elimination-that you are in the CIBC Tower. Nice view to see each day! LI MIKE

That's First Canadian Place he's shooting from. You can see cladding tiles that haven't fallen off in the first couple of pictures.

Hopefully you'll be able to update these regularly as Festival, RBC and Ritz go up.

I stand corrected...and should have noticed...FCP!
DZIOGO: So-First Canadian Place it is! What floor were you on? Back in the 1979-80 time period I recall that FCP had a public observatory that was opened limited hours and days-maybe two days a week. I never got the chance to go up but I would have if I got the chance. I remember the M logo on top-it looks better then the BMO logo now. Hopefully the problem of the rock tiles coming loose can be solved. I remember how clean-and white-it was! I did not spot CIBC Commerce Court in the pics-but I noticed TD Centre though.
Again-good pics-and a view that someone like me would not get tired of! LI MIKE

Almost every building in that shot needs to go. City Hall would look so much better if they could add some sort of colour to it.

The Holiday Inn on King is even uglier from the air than on the ground.

recession proof
Kind of a depressing view: looks like Calgary without the mountains! (Is that a put down? Yep)
Toronto really shows poorly from up high; which is why I wonder people are obsessed by buying 50 story towers? Toronto is nice within the city park--ie the streets and residential neighbourhoods. From on high, it looks--like the middle of nowhere....
Which is why I'm saving money by working out of my cheapish apt--I could have an office downtown but why not save $$$ for the real office (nyc? or a cabin on the west coast?)
Have to ask: are you office tower worker types bored with the "view" too?

I heard rumours at the time the reason west tower is shorter than the east is because the project ran out of money (major recession, 1989/90, I think) and not just brilliant design. Does anybody know if that's true? Just curious.....

When I worked in First Canadian Place the view was the only thing I liked about it.
