Besides the zoning mess that has been brought up. I actually like the proposed building, other then how bulky it looks, but I think I have to give up hope on the region getting slender towers. The material choice appears to be somewhat thought out, with brick for the podium and not my favorite but "classic" white and black for the tower. It's nice to see Vive proposing something that is not Precast concrete finally, looks like they are going with metal panelling. The podium while not great, but is fairly well designed with residentials units facing king st, so we won't have 4 floors of a precast parking garage wall. They even included commercial space, which I think is great to see and wish it was included in more projects.

Saying all this, it will probably be rejected by the city go to tribunal and we will end up with a taller precast building delayed by 2 years.
