I'm very excited to not only see this finished but to see some commercial here. The Westdale area has been needing new commercial space with very little vacancy. My only hope is one of the banks or more franchisee places shifts here to give more space for local spots in true Westdale commercial strip.
Also, not that Phin Coffee needs more customers from my experience, but will be glad to see more customers living across the street keeping that place going strong. They have some of the best coffee (and most interesting) in the city. If you're a coffee lover, you have to check it out if you haven't already, especially for one of their specialty pour overs.
I'm just always excited about new commercial spaces in the urban area. Takes pressure off commercial supply, keeping commercial rents lower and bringing in more interesting and niche retail.

I do love that look of the glass erupting out of the top like that - reminds me of that one restoration in downtown that was similar looking by core urban, the witton lofts, which imo looks more beautiful and noticeable NOW than it ever did originally..

I live basically next to this building and it's so nice, and one of my favourite examples of how density in neighbourhoods is actually fine.

It's fine when you DESIGN it properly for sure. It's just the right height and not monolithic. And yes it's absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah this little corner of westdale has great potential, just needs some added density and better road design. Buildings like this are perfect for the area.
