Some of the veteran forumers might remember when drawings surfaced of an improbably skinny tower on that site... that would have been awesome. But more realistically, a lower-rise 3 to 6 storey building built out to the sidewalk and establishing a bit of a street wall would be more than OK.
Totally agree. I think with that site it'd be more about enhancing the sidewalk & streetscape, and filling the void with something useful and having streetfront presence. If it could do that at 10+ storeys, fantastic, but something along the lines of recent UW buildings like Buhler Centre and Science Building would be more than OK.
