It looks like this one building will block out the entire Bay/King skyline view for almost all of Corktown and much of the east side. It is starting to have an enclosed, dramatic effect on the whole area. I'm really curious how this will effect the feel of that historic neighbourhood. Either way, it will be completely transformed. I don't think people on this site realize how big the impact of this building will be.

Agreed. I walked through Corktown yesterday, it already has a huge impact on the view.

Once Staples finally gets redeveloped, this stretch of King is going to be be amazing. Imagine how the bend in King would look with an architecturally significant terminating vista...
