Didn't anyone think that it was strange that they held a design competition, including voting by the public, and then announced that THREE firms won and the competing firms all had to collaborate together on an all-new design that nobody actually voted or judged? This sounds like a recipe for disaster!

They chose one as the lead firm I think.

The sales office is under construction.
The sad thing for this development as well the other ones, there is no street present on the south side as a nice dirt parking lot runs the full length. It is to service the boaters who have setup trailers there as well as an over full area for the parking lots on the other side of the road.
If you get a south unit, need to be on the 5th floor up to get a view of the bay.

The City of Barrie is planning on realigning Lakeshore Drive to the dirt strip to enlarge Centennial Park.

The city has put the development on hold due to a height increase, they now want the towers to range from 30s - 15s.
The city is also looking at the height restrictions, there may be lots of changes coming to barrie.
This new development is under construction right now accross from city hall.

Then there is this one next to the bus station. Didn't look at the other ones since none of them are on my radar.

that last one is actually the most horrendous, with five stories of blank wall and false windows, hiding a parking garage I presume? the density is great, but I cannot believe the rest. walking around in a city made up entirely of this type of building would be terrifying.

The macy development actually looks half decent.

I am sure the City is moving cautiously on Macy considering they are looking to rent some office space here to augment City Hall across the street.

The Mady Development is going in across from city hall where foodland sat and is well under construction, on the 3rd story i believe and it will be 15x2 with 3-4 story retail podium with a BMO bank and sobeys.
The first tower will be all office lead tenant barrison law then city hall.
And the other tower will be residential witch is 100% sold out.
And for that eyesore by the bus terminal it is outdated architecture that was approved in 2004.

A thoughtful and reasoned argument.

Aside from a handful of historic buildings on and around Dunlop street, it's an accurate statement. The city's mediocrity is only amplified further given its size.
