- Where it's urban. And dense.
Yep. It needs to be unceremoniously bulldozed.

Why would anyone who wasn't a industry shill write something like that? It's difficult enough to preserve heritage from the big-money backed forces of redevelopment. While I agree the one storey building underutilizes the site and is of no architectural significance, it is unlikely to go without taking the Lorne building with it. Like them or not, these buildings provide much needed variety and relief in a district being rammed with square footage.
And I'll strap myself to the Lorne building before a dozer gets to it.

Perhaps the Lorne Building ought to be shifted to the Facade District?

If this building goes I'd like to see a really innovative infill development. I can think of an architect up to the task....

The break in the balconies make the building feel less imposing. Nice scale to the street. It feels very urban and appropriate.
The spandrel looks cheap though. Is it the colour?

This one looks pretty bad. Northgrave is crapola though so not surprised.

Yeah, Paul Northgrave should have stopped designing building 2 decades ago...
