We'll see what we wind up getting with KPMB, but the most impressive aspect of that ODA design to me isn't the tower (which I personally find to be busy, inelegant, and unresolved for the most part), it's the low-rise portion:
OMB settlement was approved by council in 2017:Hmm, east end , Parliment St., 166m ??.......I'm sure the city is nervous about approving anything that tall @ this location
2. City Council authorize the City Solicitor to advise the Ontario Municipal Board that City Council supports a settlement in principle of the Official Plan Amendment and rezoning appeal related to 31R Parliament Street, 370 and 370R Cherry Street substantially in accordance with the following principles:
[...]
b. the development will consist of: a tower with a maximum height of 165.7 metres (including mechanical penthouse); a maximum tower floorplate of 910 square metres and a podium extending eastward toward Cherry Street (referred to as the Ribbon Building) with a maximum height of 23.7 metres and a maximum gross floor area of 67,400 square metres
Also, I wonder if they're leaving any provisions for a possible pedestrian connection down to the 3C Waterfront (as envisioned by Cormier), or is that dead now?
