The main floor is too low. At minimum the signage should me moved up onto the black band and the window heights increased below the band, but preferably that floor should be a metre taller, minimum. The whole building looks like it has pancaked on that squished ground level.

It might be just the rendering but the ground floor height is 4.5m here - nearly 15'. With the floor above it being 2.95m high
 
4.5m is the minimum they are allowed to have for a retail space from what I remember, but it doesn't mean they can't go higher.

End of an era for Jim's. I'll miss the place. On the other hand, it will be good to see more people living along this stretch.
 
Also - current project name is "The Logan"
 
The new rendering with the retail signage moved to the awnings makes the ground floor look taller than it did in the first renderings—at least from this higher angle—so one step forward.

Nearly 9 ft to bottom of retail awnings - rendering angle doesn't do pedestrian level many favours, but that's not really what renderings are for. Tough to get more height at grade when there is an Official Plan height cap on the site of 20M from the Leslieville UDGs.

Sharp looking building and a good contribution to the streetwall here. Still, amusing the render chooses to omit the nests of rotting hydro poles and crazy-quilt wires that blight Leslieville -- and which have zero chance of being removed anytime soon.

Battery powered CLRV with a trolley pole to heaven! Is that what the rebuild is about? :D

And it's 4.5m to the top of the second floor slab according to the plans, which means 13.5 to 14 foot ceilings for the retail. Not bad. Similar to the adjacent heritage buildings.
