If there were new city laws regulating how different a building could look from a publicized rendering, this would be one of the precedents.

Sometimes, perhaps too often in this city, we 'hear' 'not in my back yard'.

In this case, I would readily accept 'Not in Anyone's yard, nor Anywhere else.'

Unattractiveness to one side......(were that possible); the scale here is just so atrociously out of step w/the neighbouring properties.

Allowance of this is the clearest reason to discard the OMB

Will never happen
 
Would look better on King Street in Waterloo. Let's move it there.
 
I noticed this thing a couple of weeks ago after my husband got cataract surgery at the Kensington Eye Institute; when we got out we both actually stopped in our tracks and looked at it in absolute horror. It doesn't even look fit to be a detention facility.
 
Maybe its better from some other vantage points?

It's a downtown university dorm. That's exactly what itlooks like. What did you expect? The I.M. Pei pyramid?

U of T clearly needs more student housing and that's exactly what they got here.
