As for parcel D/E....I wish the City would have jumped on the momentum of Riverlanding No1 sales and offered up the property as potential buyers might have been more motivated. I do hope we see another tower on that site and one that is architecturally unique....just think of crossing Idylwyld bridge with Art Gallery/Riverlanding village on one side and a truly unique tower on the other!! We can dream.....

if it wasnt for the 3-day sellout of No1, i wouldnt be as optimistic for d/e. but seeing as it sold so fast, even from my point of view if i was a developer id be drawing up renderings fast and bug the city as much as i can do secure that parcel. id be happy with t he former 27 storey condo tower from the previous rendering to go on d/e...i think the style fits too. but seeing as that parcel could go up to 30 storeys, id like to see something that tall too--if something like that would happen lol.
overall, as i stated before, because of the pre sales for no1, (IMO)i think the mindset for developers has changed for planning future projects, and there will be less skepticism for any downtown proposal. in the next 3-5 years i expect tons of proposals for downtown.
