It looks like a residential podium, so conceptually fairly similar to the King St-facing podium of Young Condos?

This is at Victoria St and Park St, right?
If this is built as is. It will be a lot better then the young condo's podium. The proposed podium for young condos looked good, but they value engineered the crap out of it. Which is sad since it is on the main drag of Kitchener. The benefit of these proposed towers/ podiums is that they didn't put the above grade parking along the Victoria street elevation (it appears to be tucked into the back corner of the property), where as the Young Condos squeezed one floor of parking above the commercial units. Which makes the podium whole thing seem bulking.
