Bell Canada building (Water/Duke)

[ookpik]

Then I guess you believe that we really don't need any further construction downtown, as it would all be on other people's properties.  As long as they clear their sidewalks and pay their taxes, we shouldn't hope for any property owners to improve their properties or contribute to intensification, if I understand your opinions correctly.

You misunderstand my opinions. But that's OK.

That said, such speculation is neither illegal nor against the forum rules, so I don't see why it should be taboo here.

Absolutely.

All I'm trying to say is that the building is neither an eyesore or a safety hazard, etc. If Bell wants to keep it in that state then that's their business. If only other property owners were so responsible.

I'm also pointing out the strategic importance of that building to the region. For that reason alone I suspect Bell would prefer to keep that facility as low key as possible. But that's just my opinion.
