This scene looks very Scandinavian, Dutch or German to me.
 
Gooderham Condos (Distillery Phase III, Cityscape, 35s, aA)

I saw an ad facing north towards King St on Parliament today for the Gooderham Condos at the Distillery.

I believe this is the one that will be directly in front of the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. I believe I heard it had been approved for 32 stories, but the developers are trying add another 8 on top of that.
 
In the two tankhouses, or on top of?

If this isn't Clear Spirit Phase II, then the Distillery will be little more than a condo district, save for SoulPepper and a few galleries in buildings that haven't become shells for condo towers. Pure and Clear Spirit was more than enough.
 
In addition to the retail there's office space too, much of it used by various arts organizations and by individual artists as studio space.
 
Honestly this had better not be another condo on top of the ones we know about already. I wish from the beginning the entire district was left alone and designated a proper heritage site. Build around it, not in.
