Elegance to kinda tacky if you ask me... but reflects the tower's changes I suppose.

Rice Howard Place/Scotia Plaza is the single largest building on RHW with two frontages (north and east) so this podium reno is going to make a HUGE difference to the look, feel and funcition of the area. The frontages along 101 St. and Jasper Ave. will also be renovated so those streetscapes will be vastly improved as well. I'm pumped if this starts construction later this year or early next.

Opening things up onto RHW will be a positive step forward, but the design leaves A LOT to be desired.

Peel off the partial facade reno from a few years ago and put that glass back on like it was when it opened and I would say it was quite elegant.
That said, I am 100% supportive of the plan to open things up onto RHW.

Design has a bit too many doo-dads but very positive about the investment and opening up to RHW is crucial. I had heard new food hall and roll-up style doors.

A new food hall may be needed to accommodate the massive lineups at Chicken For Lunch!

Love me some doo-dads and wing-dings!

A big step in the right direction! If we could make this just a teeny bit less clunky and more elegant looking I would say 10/10.

This along with rumoured ATB Plaza investment and Manulife podium, you got yourself a trifecta!

That block (or two) north and south of SPR has huge potential over the next 10-20yrs.

Probably 5-6 more towers possible at least, and a few more 4 story buildings behind Westblock, next to the church, etc.
Does this area appeal a lot more than Oliver though? And will strong development here mean SPR west of 149st lags for decades? I feel like we have more TOD potential than we can possibly fill the next 15 years haha.
