Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario, located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. Toronto is the economic centre of the Greater Golden Horseshoe, a large urbanized region of 8.1 million people, spreading outwards from the western shores of Lake Ontario.
Because of its low crime rates, clean environment and generally high standard of living, Toronto is consistently rated one of the world's most livable cities by the Economist Intelligence Unit and the Mercer Quality of Living Survey. In 2006, Toronto was also rated as the most expensive Canadian city in which to live.
The Trump Tower, a mixed office-hotel-condominium building is tallest skyscraper currently set for construction by the summer of 2007, at 70-stories high with anticipated completion set for 2010. If built to plans, its antenna height will top 325 meters, making it the second highest office building (but tallest residential/hotel) in the city, behind the First Canadian Place, 72-stories high, constructed in 1976 with an antenna height of 355 meters.
