Listening in on the hearing, on and off. This is a very challenging file, lots of pros and cons to weigh, not clear if either tip the scales.

Apparently official name is now "The View"

The View | 76m | 23s | Westrich Pacific | Chris Dikeakos

Passed. Can't say how close it was, though, the stream was broken.

 

[Daveography]

Not as close as I thought...

This rendering puts the "View" in better context with the surrounding neighbourhood. For the life of me I can't understand what difference an extra 4 stories would have made; the height aversive crowd has lost all common sense. Better they had objected to the parking structure to the north (which is already existing) -- that is more of a block-killer than a 50 storey tower would have been.

I like the tower portion of this render way better, however the base of the original render looked a little more appropriate for a tower that doesn't have a podium per se.

@archited Should probably include a link or credit to the source of the image, just in case.

Read that this is over 70% sold so I would imagine thatconstruction will start this year.

Heard the same thing, may see construction before the end of summer.
