Looks great!

Now that is a nice looking building. Imagine what Liberty Village would look like today, if it was full of buildings that looked like this and had these great retail spaces, along the street. Where was Lamb, when we needed him? lol

Nice streetwall (but can we hurry up and get some on the southside?)

It's understandable the interior may be a rush job. The exterior shell barely is complete.

Fills out this area really nicely. Agreed on getting some action on the south side.

In a neighbourhood development, Urban Amish is moving from their spot next door on Parliament to the old Dinetz location on King.

The cladding on the West side is HORRIBLE. I really hope that's not final. It really ruins this building for me. I think continuing the brick would have looked much better instead of adding a new material with fake windows.

You mean the black stucco? I hate it. Those are not fake windows...they're design motifs and they were a part of the original rendering. The orgiinal rendering did have brick, though. I wish they continued with the brick.

Bingo! Thanks for the detail. Personally it ruins the building for me when I am looking at it towards the East. I sure it would have not cost that much more to finish the brick properly. Maybe we will be lucky and the developer will have a change of heart or is not finished.

I don't think that it matters considering that you won't see that side once those one storey buildings in the foreground get replaced.

Really? Something is scheduled to go up there soon? With the condo market slowdown it will be 5-10 years before anything covers that horrible wall. Embarrassing for Brad Lamb.

I don't think anything's scheduled to go up..I could be wrong, though.

And yes, that wall is ugly.
