A lot of checking GSP's work on the shadows from 3-4 concerned citizens that had done their own sketch-up models, which was definitely not something I expected to hear more than once.
I think this proposal is really solid and hope the debate on height and shadows peters off. Did seem that Eric's comments on forthcoming zoning changes stifled a bit of the stick to the plan angle. This group felt more earnest in the quality and attention to the building impact than similar presentations from others downtown (thinking of IN8/SRM).
I really like this development for this location. I found GSP good to deal with. When they first held meetings for Victoria Commons they listened to concerns and provided info on why they made the decisions and suggestions for the development and neighbourhood. They even shared some presentation materials via email if you requested them.
