This is a unique little intersection: two streetcar lines merging, retail strips on a few sides of the property, lots of well-liked neighbourhood hangouts. There's great potential to do something really special with the pedestrian & public realm.

Also, Lamb should have to keep the Master Mechanic sign, and keep its perpetual messages about how great dogs are.

Yes, I was just going to say this!! How did you know? ;)

I've been waiting for this announcement for years. Such an ugly corner tantalizingly displaying obvious flatiron potential...

Lamb is a scumbag, but he does tend to at least deliver good looking buildings, so my expectations are pretty high for this.

Give us another iconic flatiron, Brad! (modernist though)

Two streetcar lines merging can also mean a lot of noise. Busy intersections are better suited for commercial uses due to noise and pollution. But an avenues-type building with several storeys and storefronts along the sidewalk would be more welcome here than a car lot or strip mall.
 
Question now becomes does Lamb do flatirons? Most of his stuff seems pretty blocky and squared off. I suppose there's always a first time though.
