A number of firms / developers were making proposals for this block back in August. It'll be interesting to see which team actually moved forward on the properties.
 
I think the storefronts facing onto King will remain in some shape or form, but the warehouse building has some interesting elements to it (along the side and back walls) that I hope are retained.
 
The surface parking sucks, but these buildings are home to some very interesting media businesses, including a 3D animation studio, award-winning music production, a movie studio, an advertising firm, and a software company. There's also a fairly under-the-radar Neapolitan pizza place on Ontario street.

Big potential loss to the character of the neighbourhood if these creative and diverse jobs are displaced by a condo.

From a rendering I saw, the stores at King & Princess appear to remain and the height is all along Adelaide Street but it was unclear how much of the warehouse buildings they intend to retain. Of course all are listed so ....

It looks like a wobbly pair of legs from an 80's Transformer toy.

My immediate thoughts as well.
There's something just "off" about it to me. I can't put my finger on it. Maybe the height? Maybe the long flatness of the inner part of the "legs"? I don't know, but me no like.
