We've all eagerly wanted that awful suburban Staples to go for many years, but...

What an absolute bummer if this gets built (with that massing).
The surrounding area calls for the street scale & materiality of the distillery & king east.

This site deserves so, so much better than G+C

Almost EVERY site deserves better than G+C They should be confined to only the most utilitarian of industrial parks.

Man, that blocky, institutional mess reminds me of some 60s-era hospital wing.

I work at King and Parliament and walk past this site daily. It impressed me as an amazing location to do something very interesting because there are views straight down King into the core. This proposal doesn't leverage the layout of the location at all.

I'd rather have the Staples store in its current form, than see this hulky G+C inspired mess going up.

What’s with all these clunkers in the area? Do they end up like this because of height restrictions? So the developer tries to make as dense as possible?

Why is it that the city allows buildings where almost 2/3 of units are tiny 1 bedrooms when there is a huge demand for family sized units. Why not force developers to have more 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom units. It should be 1/3 1 bedroom, 1/3 2 bedroom and 1/3 3 bedrooms.
