Recommend a Parking garage with roof-top (TOR)

Hi guys
Just wanted to know if anyone could recommend a parking garage in the downtown toronto area that would have open top level and have a decent backdrop. Something that on a weekday around 4-6pm would be fairly empty.
Something like this but more of a view in the back... http://www.flickr.com/photos/78441299@N08/7313180780/
Wanted to shoot a motorcycle... I know eaton center has one but not sure how good the view is from there.
If anyone has some suggestions it would be appreciated, THANKS! :)

I know this might not help because it's always packed between 4-6, but if u do nights then Fairview Mall is pretty good. Sunday mornings works too I guess

Try this one at Lower Simcoe and Lakeshore: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Toronto& ... 06362&z=18

Lots of tall buildings around, including the Skydome and CN Tower. No idea if the top deck is empty during your desired time, but I don't think you can beat the location. Just don't go there on a game night.

I went there twice, the first time I went was pretty empty. The second time I went, it was empty too but there was couple guys sitting outside their cars talking. I was there around 9-10ish at night though. Pretty good place for me to shoot the highway.

Markham—Warden and Hwy7. There's a building with a multi-deck parking lot located on the North west corner.

Right at the bottom of Church st, there is a Green P that had some very cool views of down town. I remember this from a couple of years ago, hopefully no new condo's went up to block the view. It empties out pretty quickly at the end of the day. But you are looking more around after 6.
