Honestly the very initial conceptual renderings that the Marketlands team put out were borderline perfect. At the very least, should have been the basis to go off of.
- full streetfront uses along Princess & most of King
- connection to OMS at SE corner of site
- connection to City Hall Plaza across King
- closed and open air market site
- N-S spine through centre of site that allows this apparently precious-above-all-else sunlight into more places
- building along James makes use of full streetfront, and the podium + tower design again allows for more sunlight
Like honestly... just build this. Divide up and sell the northern 2/3 of the property based on this layout and put out individual RFPs for developers for each new plot of land.
