Gettin' some Rome "Wedding Cake" vibes from this horizontal monolith... look forward to renders that include the planned statues of Rob and Doug.

No permits applied for yet for building or demolition.

City Council approved the rental housing demolition application at the July meeting, but the application for the new building is heading to the OLT, no settlement yet.

Look at that @AlbertC trying to gently remind me that I never did look at the settlement offer again after it was made public.

Well.....how can I not accommodate the man?

Preferred the earlier version.

This is a downgrade...more awkward & boxy looking with less setbacks.

Planning killing streetwall seems to be a pattern.

OLT approved the Settlement Offer here in June '23, subject to conditions:

Subsequently, new docs submitted in Oct '23, then new Arch. Drawings in Jan '24.

@Paclo is flagged to have a closer look height appears to have increased a bit to 14s.

The database has been updated to reflect the approved OLT decision and the latest plans from January.

It's overall good, except for the glaring absence of retail and boxy street level . It'd look much better with an arched colonnade

Current lines are a bit too harsh.
