I am still very disappointed with the final product of the West Gate apartment complex with its stunted height and tiny windows and balconies. They really "cheaped" out once they cowered to the neighbours. I'd imagine if the developers followed through on their initial proposal, we would see more pictures of that intersection as a gateway to the downtown.

Agree. It's really disappointing, especially in this important location. The thing is, that we only had one opportunity to create a project that would help make this intersection a western gateway into downtown.
I hope that the Junction developers come up with a signature building on their Main Street frontage. They have the two smaller wood frame buildings that they purchased which will be demolished, giving them a larger footprint to build on.
If they're still working to have a hotel in their development, I'd like to see them do a mixed use building with residential units above. This would be a way to obtain more height - it worked out pretty good for 55 Queen.
