It kinda looks like a slightly (slightly) better version of 121 with those same weird black railing balconies.

Yeah. The dividers on the balconies like this almost always look cheap. I hope they use good materials, but I'm not optimistic - I don't know if I have ever seen those balcony dividers done well unless it is some time of wood between the two or brick, but both of those options are pricey.

Black window frames? This is @IanO approved for sure.

I'd be quite interested in the cost comparison of this final product vs a wood-framed version of the same building. Not many precast comparables of this scale that I can think of in the province.

If you have just been discharged from a community hospital after a long recuperation stage, then this will help you remember from whence you came (I love to use the word "whence"' it has such dignity and at the same time conveys meaning).

Well perhaps they are going for that lucrative nostalgic, discharged from a community hospital market, although I am not sure that market exists.

I think it is more likely the plain, bland , sort of institutional look is inspired by trying to do things on the cheap. I don't believe that always works, particularly in a market when there are many other choices. I think people might just look at it and pass it up or want it for a lot less.

I think they are really missing an opportunity to create something more distinctive by incorporating more of the historic buildings on the site. Half hearted facadism is the worst.

I wonder if they would have done that brick treatment on the corner all the way to the top (the other side, too) as well as in the front entry it might have given it a bit more of a redeeming quality and appeal, although granted not a lot.

Hardly

Depressing really.

Very suburban style. Very good use of a property with a lot of historic value

demolition of the existing building has begun.

I guess they’re not saving the pergola...I was gonna ask if I could have it lol

I'm surprised there's no retail on the ground level or am I wrong here? I feel like it would be better if they had that?

If I remember correctly from my conversation with someone from Eagle Builders, there's a coffee shop that'll be built on the ground level. That's the extent of this building's commercial offering.
