Despite it's relative lack of height, I find that this project has done wonders for increasing the sense of density and "endless city" in this part of town. It used to be that when I stood at Yonge & Dundas and looked west, or when I'd be going south on Bay from, say, Elm, the city seemed to suddenly give way to large open skies and empty spaces that created the sensation that you'd discovered the threshold between downtown and the inner low-rise neighbourhoods. Now that the intersection is so strongly hemmed in, when you look towards it, or go past it, you still feel as though you're right in the thick of the city. The new Sick Kids research tower has also helped in that regard.
Yep, agreed. I'm interested to see if there'll be any proposals--I actually think I remember hearing of one?--for the building on the n/w corner. Obviously it should stay, but whether something was going to be put on top of it.
Not to mention I remember hearing about proposals to increase the height of the Atrium too, but I might also just be making that up.
