It’s boring but I appreciate that they went ORANGE and not orange with those porcelain panels.

I agree with most of what you've said, however I would argue that the "unique character of mount pleasant" isn't that unique at all, and it resembles literally dozens of cutesy 2-3 storey main streets found all over the city, and the province. I'd say the interaction between old, new, short and...

Oh no! My local homesense/winners! This stretch is v tired looking though so I can't say I'm surprised they're looking to renovate

Was having a look through the plans from the development application site and I hadn’t realized that one of the facades would be using glass block, which is a great tie in to Westbank’s King project. I’m wondering if they’ll be using the same kind of system/blocks here, and if it will be a good...

Do I spy some cladding at the base of the tower on the north side? Looks like there might be some on the same floor facing west.
