Is there any updates to this development, or is it nothing?

I find it sad that this building probably will never see the light of day as it is actually a very aesthetically pleasing building a lot of glass, and eligantly clean curves and that is just something you don't see often in Canada. Too bad that people are too close-minded to let a little bit of European architecture filter over. Everything has to be boxy like 1980s office buildings

You think the problem with this project is it has too many 'curves'?

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

No I like all the curves that it has. It reminds me of something that would be built in like Dubai or something like that also realized my post is misleading

 

[Transportfan]

I just knew this would be a bump after seeing those old posts so close to the end.

 

[coenso]

Haven't the concuil mentioned this building when the 77 story was approved or something?

Before the approval of 6609 Stanley Avenue in 2019, there's a video that contains the original construction site of a 30 story hotel, but later on was cancelled and left abandoned.

Why? Niagara Falls has a very specific Official Plan policy which they enforce zealously. And this is in a town with very few rules that they enforce.

City Staff will reject your building unless you include a "distinctive roof feature" - so you get ridiculous designs like the Hilton:

... or whatever the hell this monstrosity is:
