Quote below from The Well thread:

I hope that coming out of its OMB hearing a few days ago, the 400 Front West proposal (immediately east of Clarence Square) will still tie into the design of The Well and that the design teams have remained in communication.

And how did 400 Front come out? Was the pre-hearing replaced with a ratification of a settlement with the City? Do tell!

Passed there and noticed the parking lot is no longer in service, we might be hearing an update soon on this development

Still nothing published from the second prehearing at the OMB, although it followed 3 mediation sessions in June and July.

I'd like to see lower heights in context with the Cityplace towers, Fly and, the Tridel Building. Of course, one really tall signature tower is welcomed as well. Twins is just too much.

Expect dramatic changes here from what we've seen. New massing scheme.

@modernizt can you tell us if the change is for the better or worse given the savour of our forum?

Metro Hall (55 John St), Room 310

These two re-zoning applications south and east of Clarence Square Park are proposing, together, to building four residential towers and one commercial tower. They have both been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). I have organized this public meeting with City Planning staff to ensure that you have an opportunity to ask questions and give your comments in advance of the Board hearings.

This is a courtesy to the community, I suppose, to update them on what's going before the Board, as this one has changed so much from the original submission.
