One Bedford, and Murano "intrude" on U of T viewscapes. U Condos, One Bloor, Burano, the new Ontario government building and the Four Seasons will intrude to an even greater degree.
The CN Tower intruded on the viewscape of every historical building in this city.
This is simply a consequence of living in a big city. Height and density are unavoidable. Now, would it be strange to have these condos built in low-rise Kensington Market? Absolutely. But they are being built in Yorkville, and will be surrounded by several high-rises. Moreover, they will be located hundreds and hundreds of feet behind Queen's Park. Consider this the "Central Park Effect," and a good one at that.
