I have seen more than enough aggressive behaviour by certain panhandlers in the area. To be absolutely clear, I'm not saying everyone is like this, but there are certainly a couple of individuals that push the limits. Flashing weapons is an extremely serious matter. For the record, I live and...

Yeah, well, I live near St. Andrew's Park where some owners regularly take their dogs into the children's play area to go. Unfortunately it's clear that far too many dog owners don't care where their dogs piss or crap.

Some test glazing on site:

I believe I attended the same initial community meeting that womble mentioned, and yes, the developer did not bring shadow studies then. Also, Victoria Memorial Square is in shadow during the winter months on a portion of the south side. As for the grass dying in VMS, I would say that is due...

Putting aside whether the height is appropriate for the area or not, this is a good-looking proposal. There are plenty of locations that deserve a building like this.

No, not end of discussion. You are comparing a building constructed between 1929 and 1931 during the Great Depression to a contemporary monarchy with billions of dollars. The reason why the Empire state Building was built so quickly was due to innovation in construction and not to slave-like...

Not to sound as if I'm conspiring against you, but the word you are reaching for is "insulting" - unless, of course, there is some nefarious plot to rejig its spelling.

I noticed what looked to be some test glazing just east or the actual building site.

While the brick podium is nice, I still can't say that I like the Kingly portion. The precast crown appears quite top-heavy. I think it should have been built as a separate mid-rise tower.

Diva? Not quite.

That can be impossible when there is nothing planned for the site when the initial purchase is being made, so don't jump to a conclusion that the buyer is at fault. Also, the presumption that pricing reflects what could be built across the way isn't so. Seven metres is an uncomfortable distance...

Has that LCBO vibe to it.

Interesting that you bring up that topic. Way back in the early stages of defining the building that question was raised at a public meeting. The developer suggested that plant care might be included in the overall maintenance of the building. Hopefully it will be.

Careful with that question. As noted above, it can result in varying conclusions based on different interpretive lenses. Broadly stated, there is activity on the site that appears to suggest evidence of activity related to preparing the site and erecting a building.

While the vine-covered renderings are rather alluring, it would be interesting to see a full detailed rendering without the greenery (not that I dislike it). There is no guarantee that the building will be so plant-covered when it is built, so it would be interesting to see the most updated...

Unfortunately one doesn't get that view when standing at street level. From that vantage, the crown looks like an afterthought.

I can't say I'm liking the Kingly condos. The building has a kind of "stuck-on" quality that mars the office portion.

While not great, this is turning out better than anticipated.

Nice improvement. The colour is a very welcome addition. But will this ever be built?
