Don’t know there has to be one. But if so, then sit and wait until there is an LRT as that land is one of the last pieces of prime waterfront and should be the site of a landmark and not just another condo.

There are plenty of condos on the way. That particular lot on the waterfront south/SW of the silos and near the future pedestrian bridge should be a cultural/civic/tourist landmark.

The paint job on the lower east side looks good in that pic immediately above.

I am not clear what the final look will be. Is that white paint/cladding facing Wellington Street the finished product because I like it much more than the dark gray on the rest of the building.

It appears they have a bunch of paint options to choose from to cover the lower concrete section to the right of the options shown in the red box below. I hope they choose one of the lower options, which are in the red/orange colour palette. Regardless, I am glad they are painting that...
