Comment: Hi, thanks for the submission and welcome to Wikipedia. Nick Ainis does have a few mentions in reliable sources, but not enough to meet the notability standards for a biography (WP:NBIO). Let me know if you have any questions! Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 23:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Books
edit- Building Toronto's Skyline (2023)
In 2023, Ainis wrote and launced his first book Building Toronto's Skyline Archived 2020-06-25 at the Wayback Machine[7]. Building Toronto's Skyline traces the evolution of the city's iconic residential towers from their humble beginnings in the late 19th century to the modern, high-rise buildings of today. The book begins with a look at the early low-rise apartments that were built to provide affordable housing for working-class families in the city's rapidly growing urban areas. It then explores the rise of modern high-rise condos, which began in the mid-20th century as developers experimented with new materials and construction techniques. Building Toronto's Skyline brings to life the people and events that shaped the city's skyline. Along the way, it delves into the social, cultural, and economic forces that have influenced the development of condos in Toronto and looks at how these buildings have come to define the city's identity.
Since then, Ainis has been published in various newspapers[8] and magazine articles.
