Pangea makes sense. Most logical explanation for Vaughan is two proposed towers were incorrectly posted as under construction on June 10.

Changes from Dec 15th 2024 through June 1st from SSP Data. Bracket numbers are change from that period. Added Kitchener data this time.
Interestingly, there were 17 starts in the 100m to 150m range (12 completions) but only a single single 150m+ start. Looks like a height correction in Markham.

Honestly, it feels like Toronto is going through a full-on construction boom right now — one that even New York might’ve already cycled through a few years back. The sheer number of towers either going up or in the pipeline is impressive, no doubt. It shows strong investment activity and continued interest in the city as a place to live and do business.We are now at 120 total 150 metres + skyscrapers built and u/c in Toronto. 82 built and 38 u/c. We're 17 behind Chicago now, which has a total of 137 150 metres + skyscrapers built and u/c. Plus 6 proposals for a total of 143. As well ... Toronto has now reached a new benchmark of having a total of 300 total skyscrapers built/u/c/proposed! We have a total of 180 proposals. Many of which are already approved. We also have 1 skyscraper on hold. So that makes a total of 301! I'm assuming that outside of New York; this is the most any North American city has ever had for total built/u/c/proposed. New York has a total of 295 skyscrapers built, with 17 u/c and 10 proposed for 322 skyscrapers.
Obviously, New York's total is mainly made up of built skyscrapers, and Toronto has a whopping 180 towers proposed. I mention NY's total because a couple of years ago, there were stories on North American news sites about how Toronto had just a few more total built/u/c/proposed towers than Chicago and would pass them at some point. We now have over 2 times as many total tower projects in the works as Chicago, including our 180 proposed towers. While Chicago has just 6 proposed 150 metres + towers in the works.
I think it's fun because Toronto will likely pass New York for total projects before too long, including proposals. Of course, a ton of them will be for proposals both approved and waiting for approval. So it's much different than when we were passing Chicago's total, including proposals in 2020. But I still think it's fun to dream and just point that fact out.
That said, it really raises the question: can the city's infrastructure actually keep up with this pace of development? Traffic congestion is already a major issue, public transit is frequently overcrowded, and parking is becoming increasingly scarce. On top of that, energy and water systems aren’t exactly limitless — adding dozens (if not hundreds) of new towers is going to put serious pressure on those networks.
Social infrastructure is another big one. More residential units are great, but are we also seeing enough schools, clinics, and community spaces being planned to support that growth? If the city focuses only on adding luxury high-rises without scaling up the services people rely on, it could cause serious long-term issues.
So yeah, while it's exciting to see Toronto climbing the skyline charts and challenging cities like Chicago and even New York in terms of overall project count, I just hope there's a solid plan behind it all. Growth is great — but it has to be sustainable too.

Does anyone know if these Mississauga projects are completed? Gotta update the Wikipedia page for 2026 and these are meant to have been completed this year.

EX1 is topped out. It is this building in the centre of UT member drum118's image:Does anyone know if these Mississauga projects are completed? Gotta update the Wikipedia page for 2026 and these are meant to have been completed this year.

And the last three need a height figure (or estimate) since there isn't one on the Wikipedia page right now, which is taken from SkyscraperPage data.

No idea what AlbaStak36 is, but Stak36 1 and 2 are topped out. The heights have not been publicized, but look, according to SSP's diagram pages, to be about 570 ft and 390 ft respectively. Image thanks to Tim MacDonald:
Voya is still UC. No official heights available, but look roughly 460 ft. and 400 ft. Thanks to drum118 for the photo:

Thanks for the info! I guess I'll move their completion years to 2026 for now. "AlbaStack" was a typo I made when copying the names of the buildings lol, it's supposed to just be "Alba". Sorry about that.EX1 is topped out. It is this building in the centre of UT member drum118's image:

I suppose we'll have to wait for Google Earth to be updated to get their heights, but I can still include them in the Wikipedia table when they are completed.
Also I would appreciate it very much if someone with more info could update the Wikipedia page if they can!

If I remember correctly, Misssissauga City Centre has unlimited height zoning therefore there is no need for release to the public debate. It could be worse. There are as of right rentals in Canada being or recently built with no idea how many floors tall and what they look like.
