I rode by this last week and was surprised anything was being developed. I was hoping for towers too, but I'd rather this than 20 more years of surface parking lot across the street from a beautiful park. Same with what looks like a substantial downsizing of The Shift. It'll build momentum towards the bigger picture -- Parks 2, the eventual redevelopment of Boston Pizza, etc.

Yeah I'd love more towers, but filling up empty lots with practically anything better should be the priority.

Vibrant downtowns and city centres don't always need to be filled with high rises.

It's too bad that we'll likely end up with towers along the south/west edges and low-rises on the north/east edges. The opposite would be better for sunlight into the park.

But that's a minor nitpick on what's looking like a successful area revelopment. Maybe people will appreciate the shade when it's +30!

Again what could have been.

No doubt it does look nice but especially with the market the way it is I think we are still in the win column right now.

It would have been tall, but not attractive.

 

[archited]

Now it is short and less attractive.

 

[Didama]

easier to hide that way ;-)

Rumor is that Westrich wants to go higher than six storeys for this building, not highrise level, but higher. We will see if that pans out.

 

[IanO]

It's 7 storeys.

Rumor...squashed???
