Wow, that's certainly something.

Very relieved to see the Commodore remaining basically intact, it's a local treasure and should 100% be preserved. I don't know how much stock to put into the developer's claims that this project is essential for its continued operation though- wonder if that's a bluff to get the density approved.

I also don't really have a lot of time for the "revitalization" claims here- the Granville strip's problems are the product of failures on the part of the city that aren't going to be resolved by adding a bunch of 9 to 5 jobs in an admittedly nice-looking building. It's well-executed office density with a couple of nice amenities, nothing more.
