They absolutely could not. Cheaper? Sure, of course! More expensive / higher quality? Not a hope in hell.

Sigh, not that I expected any different..............but sometimes faint hope is all one has....... LOL

New documents were uploaded to the AIC on March 27th, 2023.

While there weren't any notable design changes (that I saw), I do want to bring a few of the detail elevations forward... this one is shaping up to be an absolute spandrel buffet, particularly on the north and south elevations of the tower:

Is there a way to keep the parking lot here, until whatever is decided to be built here is better thought out?

Spandrel buffet? Ugh, that's easily my least favourite type of buffet, way down the list after Masonry, Curtain wall, Indian, and Chinese.

Spandrel Buffet. It's like the 80's group no-one wanted.

I’m reading this as the “King of zeros” - surprisingly on the nose given this design.

It's as if we want to showcase all of our worst designs along the waterfront. This looks like something you might see proposed for Kitchener.

 

[Pinski]

We would gladly take this in Kitchener!

 

[Obsidian]

Glad to soon have this parking structure demolished and it should led to less traffic in the area as well.

I am reading that as The Q not-so-Continuum Tower. >.<

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Press Q for quit. Which is just about right for this proposal.

I assumed this had become some kinda MAGA tower and was very troubled...
