This is 99.9999% guaranteed to be a rezone and flip project. Just looking at the architectural layout it makes very little sense. The design of the building is a dead giveaway too, using shitty royalty free assets like the brown brick and windows. The numbered company is probably someone who acquired the property and now wants to try and get in on the development boom even though it is basically dead, so surely hired the cheapest of the shittiest local architects (Masri O, just go look at her bio on their website lol) to throw this together to pitch it to the city. It's so low effort.
In cases like this, it's probably better that it's a rezone and flip, though. Same with half the shit Vive does and anyone else doing it. We need to stop approving awful proposals because there is only so much inner city land to develop and we don't need it all to be occupied by terrible projects for the next century. The entire city/region should be the best possible city, especially the cores. Imagine what Toronto or Chicago would look like if they let terrible developers define the cores of those built environments.
