MODS: In THREAD TITLE. The address needs to be fixed. It's King Street EAST

Knowing Lamb, he's going to want around 35 to 40 storeys here. Since this is diagonally across from the Staples site and a location for a future Ontario line station.

That and to avoid the Inclusionary Zoning policy.

Isn't this strip of Berkeley Mixed Use 4 in TOcore? Good luck at OLT on this one, on a document the Province marked up and approved.

There's a pretty solid and growing consensus (rightly or wrongly) that the height caps in the MU Areas designations in TO Core won't hold up particularly well at the Board.

It's better than saving merely the facade but I really dislike these stomping on the heritage building designs, it's clumsy and overbearing. I think a preferable tradeoff is a smaller floorplate with more height to achieve the same density. Shadowing is often cited as a concern, but honestly I think a fatter shadow that covers a wider area at once is about break even with a thinner shadow that reaches a bit farther.
