If the tower's floor plates are the same size (more or less) as the podium, is there actually a podium? I'd say no. That seems to be the case here. Floor plates too big, insufficient separation distances from the adjacent towers. I'd send it back to the drawing board.

Wasn't this design the result of some kind of design competition and OMB settlement? Not sure what either the chief planner or the planning department have to do with it.

-Height is great. -Reserving judgement on the street/pedestrian interface until more details are given, but this is where most of the attention should be directed. -Too many parking spaces

From last night (shot with an 8x10 camera for fun)

Nope

13 storeys isn't a podium. It is a "tall building" in its own right. 100% not appropriate for this location (or most of the city).
