Let me continue to be pessimistic for a moment, and firstly say that it is highly unlikely the quality of the building going up in Toronto will be what we see on this site--although I would like to be pleasantly surprised.

If the roof deck becomes anything other than a smokers hangout I will be surprised. But again, would like to be pleasantly surprised this is not the case.

If the building pictured what we get at the Vancouver site, then perhaps the height at 15 storeys with a high degree of transparency and interesting surface treatments would be great.

This is actually quite a prominent site, or has the potential to be--being a main corridor out of downtown, intersecting with another main corridor and across from a significant public building--albeit at the back side of it.

A mediocre building at lower height is okay, but not at the proposed one. This building doesn't measure up--yet.
