Hopefully that skyline fills in. The towers are spaced way too far apart.

In the central area between TEK and Duke Tower there's a bunch of other planned buildings that will do that, TEK 2 and 3, 10 Duke, Q Condos.

The west side will have the rest of Station Park, 200 Victoria, Victoria/park T1-T3, and Vive CTV site.

The east side will have 332 Charles, 87 Weber, but the vast majority of the east side development is beyond the edge of that photo with Mill/Ottawa, Metz, King/Ottawa, 50 Borden, and a couple other projects.

There's also a handful of projects that aren't public which will fill it in more, obviously not all of the projects will happen even the ones I mentioned but it's certainly getting there.

Early days still, the skyline is only just beginning to appear. More will pop up.

Another perspective with TEK visible. From the ION crossing the expressway on Northfield. DTK is on the left, Station Park just out of frame on the right.

Kitchener is getting a real Skyline. From work yesterday.

This first photo is from the opposite side of Kitchener from the previous photo, @prisecaru0's photo is from the Lackner Ridge development (doesn't have a thread) at Ottawa and Lackner. Mine is from the top of the hill on Ottawa just before Trussler Rd, both are roughly the boundary of Kitchener just opposite sides of the city.

It's not the best picture but TEK is the center of the photo, Station Park is on the left, Charlie West is to the right, hiding behind the trees is Duke Tower.

Then up close at TEK, the form on the top left is for floor 45, the last floor.

From about a month ago when I had to go up to Kitchener for work:

Something a little different going on - it looks like they may have reached the top.

Victoria Park feels much more urban these days.

Impressed, will be nice to see if IN8 could do something of equal height in Hamilton.

This one is from a few days ago.

The finishings continue to disappoint.
The tower is an overall standard issue blue-grey - no surprises there. But the spandrel and window combo all over it is crude. The tower would have really benefitted from frosted glass on its balconies to hide that, and give its patchy bulk some smoothness. Instead, clear glass shows the dull glass and spandrel behind, while fencing the entire project in with a profusion of spindly metal supports. It looks unbelievably cheap and irritating.
At the base, the parking garage has been completely sealed in - in some places with blackish glass over cinderblocks, which contrasts harshly with the whitish precast, in other places with dot-decorated off-cream glassy spandrel. An odd choice that wouldn't be chic even it had been deployed when that brief decorating fad was on. (2006?).

Anyway, another pic:

Another clunker from SRM Architects. They already have three other towers in downtown Kitchener that dominate the skyline, with another one currently under construction halfway between Kitchener and Waterloo.
I don't know what strings they've pulled, or if they're just reliable and cheap, but Kitchener desperately needs to find itself different architects when it comes to its new major towers.
