It's that time of year again! After another 365 days of citybuilding, we are back with our eleventh annual UrbanToronto Year-End Readers' Poll. Brought to you this year by our friends at Sapphire Balconies, the poll is your chance to vote on your favourite new buildings completed across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area over the last 12 months.
Included are projects where we have photographic confirmation of completed buildings, so there may be a few 2024 completions that won't appear in the poll until next year, while we are including a few projects that were completed in late 2023 but didn't have good photos at the time of last year's poll.
While we provide one image for each building here, no building can be fully described by just one photo, so if you are unfamiliar with a project, you can click on the project link to go to its thread where you will find many more images. (Photographer credit can also be established by clicking on the links.)
There are 91 buildings in the poll, another record number for you to choose from. The candidates are grouped in height categories, so you have eight favourites to select, one per category:
- 6-7 storeys — 19 projects
- 8-9 storeys — 10 projects
- 10-13 storeys — 13 projects
- 14-19 storeys — 12 projects
- 20-29 storeys — 10 projects
- 30-39 storeys — 16 projects
- 40-49 storeys — 7 projects
- 50+ storeys — 4 projects
In the case where more than one building was completed in 2024 in a multi-phase project, then the project is found in the category representing the tallest building in the project, ie if both a 10- and a 15-storey project were completed this year, the project will show up in the category where other 15-storey buildings are grouped.
Below are all of the buildings in each category. At the end of the page, a link will take you to the poll.
