Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and what not. But come on this is nothing like northdale renders/ buildings. Ground floor retail, 2 stories podium, unique patterned panelling to break up the blank walls, cleam lines, use of 3 building materials that go extremely well together. Obviously all in my opinion, but to compare it to northdale.
I do think we have projects here that meet your criteria. Charlie West. Garment Street. Strata. 185 King St S. Maybe Station Park.
Those may not win architectural awards, but they meet the criteria above -- and at least in my opinion they look at least as good as the Halifax project, while still fitting within the space constraints of urban development.
