Wonderful...

This seems just... ridiculous. 7 storeys seems completely rational to me - it's on a major street. I understand that there's a residential neighbourhood surrounding this, but come on.... it's pretty respectful. So far, it looks like Napier's office has done a great job of articulating this at street level, and I feel like it's a solid piece of urban design.
It's not a major showstopping piece of architectural importance, but it looks like quality. It looks supportive of active streetscapes. It supports a variety of uses.
I have to wonder how people can view this thing as bad. Even if they're neighbours to it, I can only think it will increase property values. I'd love to have this project as a neighbour.
