This is what Toronto's skyline could look like by the 2030s

Toronto's skyline has undergone a monumental transformation over the last decade and a half, radically altering the cityscape with a vertical explosion where developers duke it out to claim local records with ever-taller condo and office buildings.

For all the skyline changes the development boom has brought about, there are still a handful of skyscrapers planned and under construction that will contribute further skyline changes for years to come.

Buried in planning documents for an updated proposal to redevelop the Toronto Star lands at Yonge and Front, a new rendering offers a detailed glimpse into the city's future skyline, factoring in some of the biggest and brightest projects in the works right now.

The rendering includes (L-R) Concord Canada House, Union Park, Forma, Union Centre, The Hub, Pinnacle One Yonge, Sugar Wharf Condos (Phase 2), and Pinnacle Lakeside.

Below, we will take a brief look at each of these developments.

Concord Canada House

These twin 64- and 74-storey towers are now topped out and basically complete at 23 Spadina Ave., though they have been rendered into this future skyline view due to the age of the photo.

Union Park

This megaproject with towers as tall as 71 storeys rose from the dead in 2025 after years of silence, though a significant design downgrade introduced in the latest plan is not reflected in this future rendering.

Forma

The first tower of this long-awaited Frank Gehry-designed condo complex has begun its ascent above King West, but the development's taller 84-storey second phase is still in limbo as the condo market struggles.

Union Centre

With a height of almost 300 metres, this long-planned 54-storey office tower would become one of the country's tallest buildings, and an instant classic design from starchitects Bjarke Ingels Group. Like a few buildings on this list, this one is waiting in the wings for an increase in office market demand.

The Hub

Oxford Properties Group first proposed a redevelopment of the Toronto Harbour Commission Building — home to Harbour Sixty Steakhouse — and surrounding surface parking at Bay and Harbour streets back in 2018. After several years on hold, the high-flying office tower branded as The HUB has shown signs of life as Oxford seeks an anchor tenant.

Pinnacle One Yonge

The complex is already on the cusp of claiming the title for Canada's tallest building, but developer Pinnacle International is not done yet. The complex is set to include another three residential towers that will stand among the tallest in the country.

Sugar Wharf Condos (Phase 2)

The next phase of redevelopment for the LCBO Lands would see the site's western half built out with three residential towers as tall as 85 storeys. Like many projects on this list, the market will ultimately dictate whether these towers move forward in the near future, though they have the potential to radically alter the waterfront skyline.

Pinnacle Lakeside

First proposed by a China-based developer in 2017, this two-tower condo development was eventually put on hold after site clearing work before being scooped up by Vancouver-based Pinnacle International and rebranded. Work eventually commenced in 2023, and the towers have begun to climb into the skyline.
