Love those rounded corners, very slick. It's going to have a strong presence. Very magisterial.

Comparing the front elevation with the lovely brick detail and the rounded corners to the back with its blocky angular plane ziggurat gives me shades of "Homer impresses Marge".

Approved at the OLT after what sounds like a pretty pathetic appeal from the immediate neighbour. Decision reads like the neighborhood thought he could design the building for the developer and convince the member it was better. Too funny.

Interesting, would be great to read that. Unfortunately it's not correctly linked on the OLT site: https://jus-olt-prod.powerappsporta...ails/?id=c29bb9e6-c061-ec11-8f8f-0022483bf194

If this is true, that's incredible that this is what holds up midrise housing in this city. 90 units were delayed for no reason?

Reviewing the decision, from the link thoughtfully posted by @innsertnamehere ...
I deem two paragraphs key:
In so much verbiage the City's guidelines/performance standards are not OPA or ZBA, they are to be given weight, but not the same weight as law/code.
and
Which is to say, this is potentially the one good argument the appellant had. That windows on the west wall would impinge on their privacy. Only problem, no windows contemplated on that wall.
Good use of the quasi-judicial system! (insert eye roll here)
This delay will cost Gairloch a wee bit; and it really wasn't necessary.
While I oppose neutering a legitimate appeals process; this is the sort of objection that should have been squashed in an expedited ruling a long time ago.

Interestingly enough I thought about going for an evening walk through the Junction after work and would've passed by here. But I chose to drive to Yorkdale instead.
