Two entirely different architects unless they have entirely scrapped MCM Partnership and replaced them with Hodgson Schilf Evans (not impossible but very unlikely -- both firms by the way are reputable Architectural firms). If you want to get a sense of MCMs mixed use work in the mid-rise idiom you can check it out here -- https://www.mcmparchitects.com/projects/
Hell, if they just plop a copy of their "Hudson House" down I'd call it a win.

Not going to lie, with both projects going forward on 106st, this is going to really change the look and feel of the Downtown very quickly. I cannot wait to see this start digging and for one of the biggest eyesores of a parking stretch to be gone. Add in the park and it's a game changer.
 
Wait what? It's NOT even re-zoned yet? We're going back to 2018 on this....it's taken that long? Plus wait another 6-9 months after that date before - hopefully - construction starts?
 
Here's the admin report. This would allow a maximum height of 50 metres (~14 storeys), but also includes an amendment to the Urban Warehouse zone that would increase the max density for the entire zone from 500 dwellings/hectare to 2,200 dwellings/hectare.
 
Even though the UW Zone parameters are hard to define (apparently they keep changing), if we take a rational assessment that the zone might be at least 5 hectares in size we are talking about a population potential of 11,000 dwellings or about 25,000 people. That realized would certainly put some oomph in downtown viability.
