I dunno, you could have said the same thing about Joe Howe Drive 10 years ago. Saint Lawrence Place kinda changed the tone of the whole neighbourhood, but it also took a similar suburban approach to the interface with the street. Now that the area is solidly transitioning to an urban corridor Saint Lawrence Place stands out more and more as a design from another era (and not in a good way).
I suspect Sackville Drive will see a similar transition to a more urban approach to development over the next 10-15 years.
I wouldn't say it's a hill to die on for this particular project, but it does feel like a bit of a missed opportunity to be a little more forward-looking.
