Agreed. Re-designing or renovation of older condos and apartments could be more viable than what ppl thinks.They are absolutely of a past architectural era, but honestly the street level is not terrible. Small, frequent storefronts with adequate sidewalk space for covered patios is not something we get in a lot of modern developments. A recladding in a warmer colour (633 Bay comes to mind) would probably make them decent enough to look at
In 2021, the French architect duo won the Pritzker Prize for their work on re-designing and renovating old apartments and social housing.

Obviously not remotely the same as Lakeshore properties tended to be higher end even if they are older, but it is still highly viable to make them look nice and up-to-date.
(This is my long-winded way to agree with you).
