abacus floorplans were terrible, but nero's weren't that horrible as long as it wasn't a 1b unit - 1b+d and 2b are better.
can't comment on pricing as i don't know it.

Bloor between Christie and Dufferin could use a few of these as well. The local LCBO is in a one story building. Ridiculous.

Towers meet the street exactly the same as mid-rise. Your sense of loss is due to planning.

Murals like the above can look great on buildings. They would be even better if the buildings were designed with the murals in mind from the beginning. It would be interesting if builders actually produced buildings that had massive permanent murals in this style on the lower floors like sgraffito or tile murals.

Does anybody know the status of this project and if the city is going to approve it? I heard the residents association were not fans of it. I think its a great project for the area.

I haven't read through the document in great detail, but it seems like a well prepared document. We'll see how this turns out.
The closest comparison is Lamb's Leslieville Lofts on Broadview north of Queen, which did not get through the planning stages, because Broadview is not listed as an Avenue.

It looks like the neighborhood got their way and this will be zoned a max of 5 stories.

Summary
This is a City-initiated Official Plan Amendment to create an area-specific Official Plan policy for Ossington Avenue, between Queen Street West and Dundas Street West. The proposed policy is based on the findings and recommendations of the Ossington Avenue Planning Study that was brought forward to Toronto and East York Community Council at the meeting held on October 17, 2013.
In summary, the proposed policy reinforces the existing permissions while providing more emphasis on streetscape, heritage, character of the street, and transition to adjacent residential uses. While this report recommends a four-storey height limit for the majority of the street, it also identifies opportunity for height up to five storeys on a section of the east side of Ossington Avenue.

Ridiculous pandering to hysterical nimbys. A couple more storeys here wouldn't do any harm.

I'd call it the result of good community planning.
It's Chicken Little syndrome. "The sky is falling! This sky is falling!" The sky isn't falling here; one more storey is not going to ruin Ossington Avenue or Argyle Place.
