We need a lot more projects like this downtown.

This should be an auto-approval.

Same owners as the flatiron and Dineen Building:

Hopefully, the addition will be on par with the Dineen reno.

Too bad it looks like a flat facade - it would look so much more interesting if it was 3D. That, I am a little concerned about the mullions - it looks like it will be implemented as a window wall.

The picture labeled as "currently" is deceptively outdated. It appears to have been taken around 2006/7. There have been several improvements to the facade since that time. The loading dock is gone, the exterior has been sandblasted. It's not the eyesore it is portrayed as here. Please see here for a current image. It looks as though they will be reversing the loading dock renovations, because the artists' rendering includes a loading dock.

This looks great!

If the same owners of Dineen are behind this, I expect this to turn out fantastic. Any plans for retail space on street level, I wonder? This could be a great location for a small cafe for OCAD students nearby.

This is preciesly what you're describing and it's right next door in the blue apartment building: http://www.blogto.com/cafes/red-eye-espresso-toronto

Oh thought a building like this would be a heritage building, since it is owned by the commerical realty group and they operate heritage buildings.
