To be open and upfront with their plans.

Well Dermot was not completely open with the city in not disclosing that the eastern gap between the two towers would be closed off by a design he already had in the works.

Who is Dermot?

No it could still be 3 towers in total between the two but three towers that fit well on both the east and west sides of the properties. A blank concrete wall up against the Wheatsheaf property, which if protected as heritage, won't ever be developed any time soon, is a design failure. Similarly...

No where did I say fewer buildings. I was referring to having a more coherent design like what Hines is doing on Bathurst. These two projects on King are unattractive. Unfinished walls, promises of green walls that will never materialize or murals that may never make up for ugly concrete walls.

What is incorrect? If you look at lots, you will see that most of the east gap between the hotels will be blocked.

Same architects for both 675 and 689 but when 689 was presented to the city, the architects never stated that 675 would present to the city soon after and block off the east gap between the two 689 King st hotel towers.

Looks as if this new building will block off the gap between the two hotels to be built at 689 King st west leaving a cavern facing 705 king st west. Same architects for both projects. Not a good combo. More hodge podge. I wish Hines bought these two properties. They are developing 64-86...

You mean the architects?

Does anyone know what Allied paid the previous developer for the houses on Bathurst st?
