I agree with this. These two blocks were terrible prior to this development. Even the lower block with the Herald building was ugly and fit in poorly with the rest of Argyle Street. Most of the ground floor of the Herald was blank walls. The building itself was not a loss and the Nova Centre looks like it will be a dramatic improvement, even if it's not without its own flaws or compromises.

Totally. And wasn't much of the lot across from different bars on Argyle just a big, empty, ugly parking lot?
