Is K-W really that short on land/empty lots/parking lots/non-century homes that can be demolished that we must wedge an entire apartment building the backyard of 2 houses? Would you honestly want to live in one of those houses with 50+ neighbors (on that side of the building alone) watching you go about your business?

I can''t imagine anyone would "live" in them, but they'd be for commercial purposes if I had to guess.

As Spokes mentioned, it does kind of look forced. Either fully integrate the houses in a pseudo wrap around method or move on...the Esplanade Toronto has a commercial building (with Marche in it) that has enclosed an entire old bank building. Mind you, this is open concept commercial/retail (like 40 foot ceiling high commercial) so works better.

If the building really encorporated the houses I think I would be more on board with it.
