	Very nice!! Finally something that isn’t from 1960. We need more!

	Finally! A project that is human scaled, presents a variety of shapes, textures, colours and is truly a unique experience. I'm quite sure that a large part of the reason for its success is that the architects were forced to work within the 19th century paradigm that was already there. Generally, in the 21st Century, scale and visual interest seem to elude planners and architects. Just my observation.

	It's turning out to be such a beautiful neighbourhood both in terms of the quality of the architectural designs and in the public realm.
