The renders make it feel very “tower in the park” no?

Well, in fairness, the space between the two southern towers is literally proposed to be a public park!

I think the orientation to the public roads is fairly reasonable. 3 of the 4 buildings are oriented to the perimeter streets

The setback on the Weston side likely allows separation distance for additional development; while the one on the west is probably supporting potential road widening.

They could go a bit closer to Toryork.....but I don't think its quite 'Tower-in-the-Park'
 
This is the site of the old Admiral Towers that went nowhere, not sure if Solmar still owns this site? Much more density this time around.
I kinda like the gold colour of the old renderings.

Plopping a development like this down in an industrial neighbourhood just doesn't compute in my brain 🤣

Further into the industrial area it would be unthinkable, but on the edge…? I can deal with that, only by imagining the suites that will have views over the treed residential areas to the south. The north views over pre-green-roof industrial warehouses would just be something to block out.

Lots of development planned or in development for the area. This is just the beginning which isn't great now, but will be better later.
Agreed on the industrial north views, but look out further to the escarpment? lol
