My thoughts exactly. If you are going to obstruct the view of the best building in the city, might is well make it the tallest building the city.Not tall enough to be a new tallest, but tall enough to block out the view of Telus Sky

So the office component is gone?

There were two DPs on the site. Phase 1 was the office building, Phase 2 was the two residential/hotel towers. The office DP has had its description updated as well:
- New: Hotel, Dwelling Unit(s), Office, Retail and Consumer Service (1 building) and Child Care Service;
- 23-storeys (120 metres) in height; and
- One mixed-use building.
- A land use change (redesignation) - LOC2022-0074 - is required to allow for this development.

There's no profit in the residential portion of this project in this market, so you might get your wish. They are likely trying to get the DP approved then will place it neatly on the shelf.I guess Iāve been naughty this year

What/where is this one?

I thought the same thing a few months ago, but seeing an article like this makes me question it now.
If the population boom continues, we may see more of these types proposals especially with interest rates and pricing markets in Toronro and Vancouver.

I dunno, even though thereās a population boom it doesnāt seem to be translating into jobs in the oil industry, and thus not driving growth in downtown office jobs.
I could be wrong though. I havenāt seen any recent numbers for office space vacancy.
