I've always found this space to look very odd. On one end you have a 10 story white box, and the other a 15 story rectagle which has virtually no windows on the inner side leaving a massive void of scale with the short historial buildings that fill the middle. I've always loved the eclectic style of the store fronts but I do think the left-most can be replaced with something that would have better scale for that space.
I feel, this spot on King needs, and can support some more height. Looking eastwards down king, the wall of architecture really looks amazing. I thought continuing with King's upward trend, a 22 story tower would compliment the other towers in the area, but add slightly more height over them, except for Stelco and IBM tower. I feel it's a good spot for a mixed-use office building.
Cladded in glass, with fins along the front and back faces to add character and a greater sense of height. Inspration for this design is influenced by Toronto's new One York Street.
I'm going to call this, The Gore Building.
Purely my own interpretation of what I'd like to see there.
Rendering is my own.
