Nice. This will fill in a significant gap on Preston. I like the scale. A 6 story building can make more of a visual impact at street level than a high rise

Glad to see this type of human scale development. Always worried that the towers would march north from Carling. Much prefer concentrating towers around transit stations and preserving these traditional main streets at a smaller scale. Gives more variety and lets light down to street level.

I wonder what will be built first, this, or the already approved three tower development on the remainder of that block.

Those three towers are supposed to have a grocery store, so hoping those. Or at least, the tower with the grocery store.

Will be nice to have a continuous street wall and removing nearly all surface parking. Too bad Dow's Lake Station wasn't double tracked as part of Stage 2. Hoping the City/Province/Hospital can figure this out before the opening of the new Civic.

I'm bursting with excitement for a new TD Bank.

No doubt it will be appreciated by nearby residents who bank with TD, and there's probably not much else that can fit here, but it's still kind of a dud. Really looking forward to the development that will remove the massive surface parking. Should have some important essentials.

A bit plain in terms of design, but I certainly like the size and scale of it on Preston. A good addition to the missing middle for this part of town.

Good! Start building up that street a bit more. Too much junior detached building fabric still left around there. Perfect little project for a street like this.

Welcoming the beginning of the end of parking lot in the heart of downtown. One of the biggest eye-sores in the city. Basic design but good amount of mix use density. I'll take it!
