I think the side facing Victoria is particularly lovely. The greenery and so on is very attractive, as is the stepped-back appearance of the wings. I agree that the King St. Side is a bit monolithic, but, um, it's like a 100 year old building. So it's not like it was a recent design decision that could have gone a different way.
I'm not sure how you think the parking lot could be changed. The condo fees would go up astronomically if you expect the residents to fund a parking garage. And to what avail? They own the property, the only way that could fly (I think) is if they built a garage and then sold the little bit of land that could be recovered.
...and then everyone would complain that the parking garage is ugly.
I really liked living there at first but as the percentage of rentals went up, the quality of life went way down (noise/parties) and it was time to leave.
