For the most part I agree.
The irony is when the initial application for the inter-urban ( across the street) went forward it was for a completely modern building . The City made them revise their plans to add the heritage style facades on the podium. Now the city comes forward with a concept that dismisses the street and ignores the heritage character of the area.
I don’t mind the massing of the offices though. It fits that scale of the surrounding towers. Remember commercial floors are typically significantly taller than residential floors. So the 11 storeys is actually more like 15.
It is an early concept though. hopefully they resolve some of these issues moving forward.
