Disagree on that, seems to just keep getting worse. Hard to tell but it looks like they've toned down the higher quality materials, and it's now been bitten by the "randomness is a substitute for quality design" bug.

Oh totally agree on the materials and to be perfectly clear here, I still don't "love" it. I just mean more so in terms of the overall massing. The 'steps' on the north and east sides make it way less overbearing (to me anyways) than what was previously shown, but that in no way saves it. I still long for the original design — that one was hot.
 
Do you think if there wasn't such opposition to the original design (with the cascading levels), this project would have caught the right side of the market wave and got built?

It's a shame. I loved that original design, still can't understand why the adjacent residents were so passionately against it.
 
It seems a little busy, but overall I don't mind it. We work with Hodgson Schilf Evans on most of our projects and the architect behind this design has been the lead designer on many of our projects - Crawford Block, Beljan Block, Oliver Exchange, Substation 600, etc.
 
looks like progress is being made
