I'm quite sure you can answer that question yourself.
Without sounding too melodramatic, this is a tragedy. The only reason I've ever made a point of sitting in Gore Park is to admire those buildings. They're not in great shape but they're still beautiful and worthy of restoration.
People with that much money shouldn't be pinching pennies with this sort of project. You want to build in that spot, then do the right thing.
If you want know what it's going to look like, just have a gander at the Jackson/Civic Square mega-block. James-York-Bay all the way up to Jackson, turned into a lifeless, concrete shitstorm of nothingness where once a vibrant, historic neighbourhood once stood.
Hamilton goes back to the future again.
