Is this the one Will Alsop was supposed to have been designing?

I guess this means no condo on stilts anymore.

Nice addition to the area.

I definitely disagree. If this is what we're losing West Queen West for, I'm extremely disappointed. It seems as if they used Alsop as some kind of Trojan horse.

Very confusing.
This is no where near where King meets Queen.
That happens at Roncesvalles.
As for the building: a whole lot of nothing.

I thought Alsop was designing the colourful one on the north side of the tracks.

Dude, where's my Alsop?

The buildings across the tracks in the last rendering look Alsop-esque.
I don't mind this one, especially as it's right up against the tracks.

Ugh, it looks like 3 buildings in 1. Do not like it. I never heard of this proposal before though. Hopefully the other ones on the other side of the track are nicer!

The one north of the railway tracks is by Baird Sampson Neuret.

Wasn't Westside Lofts the Alsop project?

Or was he supposed to do another condo?

Worse than 'meh'... downright ugly. Big, bulky, and clumsy.

The rendering makes Queen and King sound insignificant, which seems appropriate given the fact that it's not actually at the intersection. And the big pinkish orange box at the top brings everything to a lower level of quality. If this were a movie, I'd say the acting was mediocre and the plot was tired and predictable.
