In a very real sense, whether you like them or not, the towers concentrated in the area point to the failings of enforcing the city's plan. There was a height restriction in the area at one time, and that has been blown away. Now there is an angular plane recommendation based on the height of Festival Tower. Developers play along for now, but they know that the Secondary Plan and the height regime can be attacked at any time with a visit to the OMB (the Secondary Plan is already under attack). The pressure is now on for the west precinct of King-Spadina. The height limit of 28 metres has been surpassed on a number of new buildings and the character of the area is at risk as a result.
