A few miscues from a few developers and the whole industry goes flat (or should I say flatter).

Kinda embarrassing to have to park in a slushy gravel lot whenever I’m taking out-of-towners to the strip club

This baby right here? For you Yeggator? I'll sell for 100,000 less than I bought it for. She's fast too. And fuel efficient.

The design has been revised, yes.
We need to fill up as much land as possible. 6 storey buildings are fantastic.

This would seem to be an area where a taller building would make a lot of sense, but hey it's been a surface parking lot for decades so almost anything at this point would be better.

Many of the cities in Europe that we most admire (Berlin, Barcelona, Paris and others) are made up of largely 6-story'ish buildings in their core, central areas. I am optimistic about the outcomes from this size of building.

I'm not terribly disappointed by the shift to mid-rise per se, but I think everyone is bracing themselves for a potential downgrade in design standards to something quite bland and very un-downtown-like. Here's hoping we're wrong!

It is sort of in the Warehouse District, so something that fits in with that would be nice.

^Some red or other brick would be tasteful.

Yes! Hopefully, it will be something with the vibes of Griffintown in Montreal—lots of brick with modern touches
