Unfortunately, the "renders" are too vague to tell.  I actually find the concept interesting, and the apartment building itself, to the extent one can tell, looks better than what was shown in the original renders, imho.  If it were up to me, the two houses would be given over to commercial/office space rather than apartments.

I attended several meetings about this development, and if my memory serves me correctly, the buildings are completely separate - no connection to the apartment in behind. And I believe they will each be duplex style units, 2 homes in each building.

If this is the case, this is nuts. (IMO) Like Momo28 said, that's not too ideal to live in.

I picture Ottawa's Centretown where a lot of old homes are converted to offices, stores or restaurants.  That would fit here.
