Makes sense. There aint no room for any remaining SFH's along Balliol, west of Mount Pleasant.

Nice! Looks like something from the Distillery.

I won't shed any tears for the houses that are being torn down, but I think the brown base looks absolutely terrible. Another go around in Photoshop to choose something less gaudy would not have gone amiss.

I appreciate the scale of the building, though. Finally something of a reasonable height!

The principle change seems to be that they've shifted the parking access from one side of the building to the other, and narrowed it a bit; they've built a connection to the Revera building.

The description of the revisions from the Cover Letter follows:

Renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Rezoning submission:

A settlement offer on this one is coming to next week's meeting of City Council.

The terms are public. Of note, this one actually got bigger. @Art Tsai will wish to make note.

...admittedly, those indented balconies are interesting.
