I've wanted exactly this project for exactly this site for a while, basically.

Light green flashing and frames for the glass curtain wall makes me wonder a bit, though. Is this the same light green as some of the hideous lego-style roofs that have been built on some new buildings around town? The glass canopy, on the other hand, sounds like a great idea. A lot of these buildings originally had canopies and awnings that have been stripped and the street is harsher than it needs to be as a result.

Imagine what Sackville Street would be like this if this proposal went up along with United Gulf and the two convention centre towers. On top of all that, there is room for a tower on the block below Hollis. I am not convinced all this will happen since construction is lagging behind planning but this area has some good old buildings, good overall structure, and enormous potential.
