Not surprised. I'm thinking there's perhaps soil remediation issues. It's a real eyesore currently. Quel drag.

Looks like this was sold to a numbered company. Architect is Guitberg Group.

One of those elevations faces the street? Yeesh.

Wretched. Truly wretched. What a come-down from the first design. I dunno what's worse - the current weedy, sad-assed empty lot or this proposed abomination.
 
From the chicken coup style renderings, I thought this was one of those modular affordable housing projects. Nope, this is in fact premium condo stuff from the description... /sigh

Based on the descriptions a few posts above from Oct 2019, it sounds more like rental apartments from what I grasp.

The built forms so far do seem to line up with the design elevation drawings posted further up in the page back in Feb 2017, which don't look so good though.
 
I live on this wee slip of a street. We've been watching it go up in a painfully slow and stilted process. The manner in which it's been unfolding has made many of us on the street think it's either amateur hour funding problems or a typical case of Makeaquickbuckitus or.... some dubious combination of both.

That said, the massing and height are not unwelcome and it's good to see that empty lot filled in. What I'm really concerned about is how it looks when the cladding stage happens. Alas, I don't have terribly high hopes.
