365-367 Queen Street West (Silver Snail site, 3s, Montgomery Sisam)

^ Nope. The 369 QW property is being maintained as a separate development.

Looks like a placeholder drawing, but hopefully the actual building will be at least 4 storeys.

Generally, I like the structures Montgomery Sisam have contributed (esp. The Island Yacht Club). That render is just OK.

Some of their recent buildings have been eco-conscious but bland. My favourite M-S project is the Humber Bay Arch Bridge. It doesn't seem to have much relation to their current work.

Though they've retained some depth to the facade, this is almost one of the more comical attempts at preserving a facade I've witnessed. It looks like the second and third stories are perched on a shelf above the street. Ridiculous, I hope they modify this to restore the original ground floor as opposed to "modernizing" it.

Agree. That render me LOL. Just horrible.

The developer should take it back to the drawing board. The heritage facade can be integrated into the development to look like an entire old building. The contemporary facade should have more glazing and look like an actual building, not a shopping mall storefront.

What happened to the bldg. next door?

The old Roots Store? It was demolished by a fire in 2012.
