Yep. Architect is BBB, 27 storeys:
The building must go as it doesn't even come close to being save. I have no issue trying to save the wall with the add on it and use it somewhere else on this site.That being said, one of the downsides is the loss of a relatively attractive and well-preserved corner storefront.

They should keep this (including the painted advertising on the brick wall) and cantilever over it.
I think there will also be significant opposition- especially considering the quasi-parkland east of this is already being redeveloped.
That Google Maps image doesn't do the Victorian on the corner justice. It's quite nice in person, and is one of the few remaining structures from that era on Davenport. The add on the side is cool too. It's definitely worth saving.
I'm also a big fan of the 1920's warehouse with art deco elements at 326 Davenport. They could very easily demolish the nondescript building in between, use that as an entryway for the tower, and keep the heritage elements.
