That coloured image does a good job of showing the site almost as a pair of hands clasping at the interactive areas, shielding them from the neighbouring areas, turning their backs on everything outside. Reminds me of a more intense version of the Bauer buildings in that respect, terrible experiences from all sides, until you're inside the cloister.

There is actually King street-facing retail on two levels in both of the two "hands", as you can see on the render on the previous page.  And the retail space is curved, and fronted with some small green space, so I think much more attractive than the Bauer building's fairly inert street presence.

The two retaining walls (which will hopefully be improved) aside, I really don't feel that this would be a terrible experience for a pedestrian.  But it appears that I am in the minority in that regard.
