A highrise project but a 4 story proposal?

The rendering a few pages back is gross. It belongs on humber bay.
 
the ad says -- All the decadence and glamour of Yorkville, Canada's most celebrated luxury shopping and cultural district, awaits you...

the definition of decadence -- moral or cultural decline as characterized by excessive indulgence in pleasure or luxury.
 
That ad is not exactly the first time that decadence has been vaunted as a virtue. At least half of all advertising admits that we happily wallow in it, even as it's not explicitly laid bare that often.

I went back and searched for this app. to see if any height correction had been made but it appears it has been pulled. To be continued.
