I really hope this thing gets built and is made 20 stories taller. ;)

The plaza will be a nice feature that is generally missing from the CBD.

I noticed that too.. and isn't there a parking lot there right now in front of the BMO building? good riddance to it!

That will look awesome, and I think they could totally go over 20 stories...this area is already a giant screen of buildings blocking view of the peace tower already anyways...

Yeah, I don't know who at the city approved a surface parking area in the downtown core in front of a Transitway station. :uhh:

Good riddance alright.
