Oh, so that's half of the Compu College School of Business building? Is Compu College no longer there and both sides are for sale? Only 271 has been purchased?

Regarding Margaret Place design:
It seems to be a pretty charming proposal. However, the renderings are in a strange, vintage-esque style which really isn't standard for a development like this. It makes me curious. Hopefully the contemporary addition is not Jellybean inspired as well!
The Site Plan is also lacking details/context. I think I agree entirely with Architype, and the most exciting aspect is the gardens, so far. Hopefully that public green space is more manicured to promote more foot movement via Margaret's place to Bonaventure - it would really help with walkability in the area. I think it is a pity that these two beautiful buildings have been tucked away on a side road. They would really enrich a thoroughfare via Margaret's Place.
I also wonder why it's a 'Place' at all for such an abrupt ending to the road without development AND there being an opening to the road just north. It would be nice to see the road extended toward the intersection just north-east and to create a roundabout that would really help manage traffic at that junction (which is a frustrating mess, in general). But it would be a pity too to lose the green space.
Re Sheilagh's comments. I don't recall her saying it was too dense. I recall her saying it was sloppy and poorly thought out. Which isn't completely false.
And good that we'll have more up-to-date street-view. Hopefully it will include more frames for a more continuous/fluid street-view experience. However, I would particularly like to see the google satellite views improved. The St.John's satellite view on Google is a mis-match of seasons!
