I know the city is responsible for planning the expansion of the PATH, but I don't know whether this is the fault of the developer for not complying with the PATH master plan or of City Hall for not including an expansion to this site in their plans.
I would, because honestly it's largely a blank wall of glass save for the jaunty canopy. I look at something like Santiago Calatrava's Galleria at BCE Place and lament that we've struggled to build anything of landmark quality for decades now. Yes, I know that the big banks have a lot more money to throw around but surely there's some middle ground for more aspirational architecture. In fact one needn't go far, as just down the street 212 King St. W. has presented something a lot more impressive as far as street level is concerned.
That's actually a great idea!
I will agree that it could look a lot better and more interesting. But if you look at the the other diagrams couple pages back or so, that blank wall is not the only thing going up there at ground level.
Sorry about not clueing in on this story. But is that 350m in height?
They tried to raise the height, but The City wouldn't let them. Least to my understanding.
