This could easily be the ugliest and most disappointing project of this decade. The starbucks being the cherry on the cake.

Ugliest no, but definitely bland. It is neither the most disappointing (that would go to the Berczy), but it is definitely a missed opportunity.

I still don't understand why the building was chopped from a decent 4-storey design to a awful 2-storey design.

Did the units not sell? Maybe in relation the the proximity to CAMH? Or did builders encounter a Harmon Tower-esque failure in construction?

This also begs the question of how far along the design of the building was before it was cut in half- hopefully, future demand might see the completion of the building the way it was originally intended.
