The infrastructure is still the number one problem in Toronto. When are the high tech sewer, water, and electrical infrastructure going to be built? In addition, the new subway/LRT lines are way behind schedule. When are they going to be finished to accommodate the million more residents in 2030?
There is nothing esthetically pleasing about the current new condo buildings and skyscrapers in downtown Toronto. No nice sized balconies to speak of, robbing people of an important outdoor space; ugly (and I mean ugly!) shapes. They're building small boxes and expect people to pay over $1M for that crap. I've never seen anything like it. The way the city robbed it's citizens of what used to be beautiful spaces for everyone to enjoy and great is now concrete and steel. It feels cold and looks dead. It's depressing. There just is no common sense that went into the growth of the city. I guess Toronto doesn't have a city planning commission and if they do, they're just interested in money.
AI chatbot got drunk before narrating this promo clip. There is very little that is aesthetically pleasing about any of these structures (some of which won't even get built).
Context for people outside Toronto reading the comments: Don’t pay attention to most of the folks crying about all the new development. Most of these people are usually uninformed and want to go back to the “good old days” when Toronto used to be a small relatively conservative city which would destroy Victorian buildings in favour of parking lots. Most of the buildings had soot on them because of all the factories on the Lakeshore and Portlands. Somehow they think that was the “good old days”….I call it the darkest period in Toronto’s history. In the 70s Toronto began to change and set the foundation for what they are now becoming and in the 80s it became a boomtown….the 90s were a bit slow again in terms of infrastructure development, but then the 2000s rolled around and Toronto just ballooned and it hasn’t stopped since. Pay zero attention to those complaining. It’s usually folks who are jealous of the city’s rise OR boomers who think it’s still 1964.
If I had $4 million to spend on a property this is definitely what I would want. A condo right next to union station, where you can’t drive and are surrounded by 3 million people every time you step outside 🤡
Facts so many people and it’s not even clean 🫤🥴 so much construction, traffic, no parking, parking tickets 🤕 they literally have the parking officers standing ready to give you a ticket.

Tried to watch this but stopped watching. As with some music videos the creator made the video annoying by switching the image every three seconds. There's no need for that.

Do better - don't edit videos like you're editing a pop music video and for that matter don't edit pop music videos like that.
Many of these projects showcase beautiful towers. Bravo to the developers. That said, I find super tall skinny buildings, especially those that around the perimeter of New York City’s Central Park, to be ugly.
I bought a unit at 1 Yonge simply because I loved the address and wanted it in my portfolio. When we closed, the actual address was 28 Freeland Street. I was pissed! 😡
Always have respect for the under ground Canadian Shield. Billions of years hold Canadian Shield bedrock still has strength to support all the current architecture plus the future massive buildings to come. Canada’s Canadian Shield is the quiet player in all this Toronto construction bonanza…
And who do they think will be able to afford living in these behemoths? There is already a serious shortage of reasonably priced properties. Reasonable being within the budget of the middle class. There are that many rich people in Canada.
Not the world. Just Canada. Central park tower in New York currently has the tallest units in the world at 110 floors. Sky tower will be at 104 floors.
@@nanaokyere7141 Central Park tower has 98 floors. But looking now, Dubai has one proposed with 122 floors. So I guess if it’s built, it will hold the record

One of the reasons I moved out of Toronto was housing affordability.
It doesn't look like that will change any time soon.
It never will, Toronto is where folks want to be.
Toronto is the NY of Canada and the 4th largest in North America. It's a major city with no means of slowing down unfortunately.
People who don't want too much space but wants to find high-paying jobs will stick to Toronto.
More housing supply is a big part of fixing affordability

You haven't been to New York then. It's 10 times worse with majority of the building units facing other buildings.

Some very cool buildings coming soon. Love it!!!
The best Town of the world for me

Encampments must not be forgotten. Tents and shanty towns also need significant upgrades for a growing population…
Awesome video & info . 👍

Why would you even want to drive downtown
if you live downtown why are you driving?
The condos will all be completey empty NO lights on. Only the super rich / chinese are buying these to sit on

They're ugly in Toronto too.
Yes, I would rather be in the woolworth building or tge sherry. Nothing alluring with tge skinny ones, although I will never be able to afford either
Seems almost crazy. They're building more commercial space down town. What about the concept of working from home.

I hope your portfolio will be ok.
0:07 how is growing fast, everyone is moving from there or sayin g how f is expensive ? Who is moving in ?
Young people are moving downtown. Not everyone is marrying and opting to live in the burbs.
The rich. Now that everything is cheap and vacant
@GordonJohnson-vc8sm salaries have risen - a lot of young Torontonians work in tech start ups that are loaded. Six figures is pretty common.

Wait for the first one to fall or maybe tilt
Empty buildings and oligarch money laundering. 😊
This type of living appeals only to a small percentage of society no matter what the price. At least they are nice too look at.

So how are they being bought?
Where all this money comes from?? Certainty not from me!

Architect here = I approve of this project and its marvel in design.
People living in boxes high in the sky . No Thank you.
Waste of bandwidth
what are they going to fill them with? Imigrants.. cause canadians cant afford a house. 56% tax rate we cant afford much.
Unless you’re First Nations then you’re an immigrant too.
Nonsence, can't find a place to live whatever the price. Go move south buddy.
😂 yes because immigrants have that kind of money. A lot of these units are being bought by corporations and then rented for maximum profits
@@Wilem35can you afford it?
Who is going to be able to afford these condos? Asian investors who are trying to hide money? Criminals washing their illegal proceeds?
It's alien architecture.
For 4m i can live in smaller city and notgetstressed in that city, stop working an go around the world and live my life.
