And what does that tell me ?
There are not 250 skyscrapers under construction in downtown Toronto
Or maybe you’re defining a skyscraper as 50 ft
There aren’t even 250 skyscrapers under construction in Shenzen
Won't be surprised if Austin overtakes Canada's 2nd city (Montreal) for highrises. Austin is doing great things. Austin probably won't overtake Toronto this decade but perhaps next decade. Austin is definitely on it's way being the next big American city.

Latest round has Toronto "only" having 28 +150m buildings U/C right now (44 in the entire GTA)
Theres something like ~200 proposed in the entire GTA region, but if we are going off of proposals then these list get super arbitrary.

Austin has more +150m buildings than Montreal as is (in part due to Montreal having strict height limits). The difference is Montreal has hilariously more infill mid-rise development due to being twice the size of Austin. It also doesn't build its skyscrapers/high-rises on top 10-15 story parking podiums either, so there are major nuances.

Toronto is building high-rises at a ridiculous rate, probably more than almost any other city in North America. I highly doubt Austin will catch us in like 20 years. Toronto is more likely to surpass Chicago in that time frame.
Toronto is interesting in that their high rises expand for miles and miles outside of the urban core. I visit every few years and it’s remarkable driving the QEW constantly seeing the new towers and cranes forming an arc around Lake Ontario in the outer ‘burbs.
Atlanta is doing this on a smaller scale, as skylines in Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Vinings have risen taller in recent years.
Yeah, Toronto is weird in that there are massive buildings outside the core and in the suburbs. Just look at the development around Highway 7 and Jane fueled by the York subway extension. Multiple new buildings (and more being built) that are 40 to 50 stories.
In Toronto proper, you see massive high-rises in certain pockets outside the traditional downtown around the financial district. Like Yonge and Bloor (some people would consider this the beginning of downtown), Yonge and Eg, and Yonge and Sheppard.
Soon might have to add Stamford, CT to the map (probably in the umbrella of NYC.) Click on the green square things and you will see some of the approved projects are highrises.

Montreal has 39 highrises under construction while Austin has 25

In terms of highrises Toronto supassed Chicago a long time ago

Might as well go after NYC too, lol.
