My office is 2 min walk from this location. I should visit here. Unfortunately, I mostly walk on the other side towards Union every day.

This is going to be such a sorry, sad, and pathetic build.
It's a damn shame we didnt get the last proposed phase of Brookfield Place built back when the company actually had some pride in what they were building.
Also to add, there's no point keeping the facade of the exiting building for this gutter trash that Brookfield is intent on building.

Great location for housing especially now that Union is a destination for food/services!

Great, this will be just a GRAND sight for this site. If there was even a hint of a homage to thearchitecture of the prior phases on this block, I'd be more accepting of this project, but this is really uninspired and bland.

Crazy - every interesting aspect of the original proposal has been watered down or removed entirely... The angled beige panels on the tower facade? Gone. The dark green window trim and metal panels on the tower? Also gone. Unique and elegant stepped massing? Gone.

Unfortunately that Pain Doré - is not as good as the ones I used to patronise in Montreal 20+ years ago. Maybe none of them are or my 'remembered tastes' are better than they actually were. We were really looking forward to it opening and after several visits have given up.

Oof. Why the chop? Not very often you see developers cut density willingly, especially on a site like this one.
Application Details

The revised design is 40-storeys and 480 units (16 of which remain designated ARH)
As for "why the chop?", this is the reason presented in the cover letter:
Or perhaps they just wanted @Riseth to feel better about it

Let's see what the Cover Letter says:
And let's boost the side of those renders, so we can clearly see what we're complaining about!
