If they added another floor or two, they'd clear the old mill building beside them sightline-wise, and anyone on the top floor amenity would get a view to the riverbank and countryside landscape beyond. Besides, we're having a little ole housing crisis right now, and 5 storeys in dntn Hespeler probably wouldn't destroy anyone's neighbourhood. Go bigger!
