This project was just brought in front of the Heritage Committee.
Momentum wanted to keep the facade, portions of the side, and move important elements of the interior into the community benefit space. Momentum also stated that over 20% of their units will meet the Regions affordability criteria
The committee members, from the comfort of their million dollar detached homes, did nothing but bring up not liking the height and density. No alternatives or advice was provided. They voted to designate the building, with one of their main arguments being that they want more power and say over the development. This is an unelected committee.
I would rather see a community benefit space brining attention to key heritage aspects, than a building sit and rot to please 8 citizens
