That's sad. I'd almost feel compelled to drill a hole or cut into that spandrel piece to get more light in, or to hang something onto that spandrel piece, as nonsensical as it sounds. I guess the one good thing here is that this shouldn't have the screaming bee hive effect of E Condos with the wind picking up on the specialized metal balcony/cladding pieces. (Or at least, it used to*)

Those protruding chunky railing brackets on the floor don’t help either.
I can see myself stubbing my toes on those tiny balconies.

I know we're not getting any unique paving treatments or sidewalk expansion here, but I do wonder what the post-construction street reconstruction program will entail.

If there was ever a street to be pedestrianized this is it!

For now, we're getting only the narrow, plain sidewalk as far as I know; but we should get something else fairly soon:
That's from the BIA's public realm plans, published last year.

Interesting. Looks good and I hope they come through. I'll take the JDM S14 in there too. Very clean.

I was down here today...........post will probably get its share of red faces.............and I can't fault that........as a lot of what I saw..........yeah....
First, the not-so-bad, I think, if it's cleaned-up ok (though even here, the straight-up streetwall treats this street terribly):
Then, the I'm mildly, but reluctantly optimistic bit...............
Finally, the OMG, how could anyone be this incompetent, this cheap, this obtuse................can ya tell I don't like what they did?.......:
Do you see it? ^^^^
Look through those second floor windows............

Cheap is the name of the game in this town.

Even for Toronto, the heat duct running in Plainview of the windows is a new low

And the slab! What the hell? Just align the slab behind/above the brick..........the accretive cost is nothing, but per ft2 rent you would get for retail and/or office (in a normal market) in behind that heritage would make mint.
