Taken with a long lens from Hamilton Mountain, about 56 kilometres to the southwest of the CN Tower, Toronto's skyline appears to rise directly from the deep blue waters of Lake Ontario.

It's not Francisco Gazitua's Puente de Luz at Concord Cityplace catching the direct light early on a recent day in this image, but two of the 'mountains' in KING Toronto's short range of concrete peaks just to the northeast. The uniquely glass-block-clad condo gets ever-closer to completion as its upper storeys are enclosed with the translucent materials.

On its way to 73 storeys, Forma's floor-plates shift. It happens twice; way up at 62 storeys, and here at 38 storeys. Making the shift is a complicated matter, with partial transfer slabs required to carry loads from walls above down through offset walls below. Some of the 38th floor will be suites, other portions will hold mechanical equipment, while a mezzanine above will essentially serve as a machine room for the low-rise elevators. At 39, a fully flat floor-slab again, and a completely new suite layout from there up to 62!

The Dawes, in the foreground, along with the more colourful Rushden Station trio behind it, are all topped off in Toronto's East End, a couple of cranes still towering over them, while the city's downtown skyline forms a crowded horizon behind them, under cloudy skies. Both projects, just to the north of Danforth GO station, have another tower planned before they are completed, but those are on hold for now.

has resubmitted plans for part of a redevelopment at 793 Don Mills Road in Toronto's Flemingdon Park area, replacing the an earlier plan that would have retained the Foresters office building.

At a discreet distance from Toronto's towers, Kensington Market reaches out with a beckoning warmth to anyone looking for eclectic/artisanal/out-of-the-ordinary wearables, collectibles, and eatables. Merchants generally offer a break from the everyday, so the market as a whole feels like an escape from the mundane, and a drop-in to somewhere special.

The view across from the Loblaws atop St Clair West station includes covered bicycle racks, a subway entrance, a wall of trees at the nord end of the Nordheimer Ravine, and some new treetop residences, nestled somewhere — apparently — within a park-like city.

Take from the YRT's VIVA Orange stop at Vaughan Metropolitan Centre station, the Festival towers and Bravo at Encore stand tall against the setting sun, as cars ply eastbound Highway 7 in the foreground.

ADFF, the Architecture & Design Film Festival , is returning to the TIFF Lightbox in two weeks, November 4 through 7, 2026, with seventeen screenings in total. Presented by Eventscape, the festival opens with a Wednesday, November 4 evening premiere and party, continuing on the Thursday and Friday evenings, and going all day on Saturday the 7th.

A view across the Leaside industrial area — with the new residential towers lining Eglinton Avenue in the foreground — continues across the greenery of Leaside itself, and onwards to the towers of Downtown Toronto, variously silhouetted against either the sky or the shining waters of Lake Ontario in the distance.
