Sounds like whoring to me too.
This proposal amounts to an eye-candy-clad-gallery being used as bait for a mega condo development at the cost of an entire block of good and significant historic buildings, - meanwhile Lamb had to fight to get half the height on an empty lot practically next door. This project sets many bad precedents and reveals Toronto's planning efforts to be a farce. A world-class Iconic supertall - even a set of them would be fantastic, but not like this and not here. This isn't how London's Shard got built. Toronto is bedazzled by this proposal but has primitive and incompetent mechanisms for controlling growth. This is Bilbao syndrome, and there is more to city building than Section 37.
