I'm fine with the increase in height, but the tower is very cold and bland.

Warm the brick, in a bold way, so as to better contrast w/the darkness above.

Make the black sharper, and a bit less matte.

Add single spine of terracotta/red running right up the middle of the glazing at the corner.

There.....much better.

I mean its Kirkor, we could rethink it all, but I think that would redeem its worst features........of cold, and bland, at least somewhat.
 
I see there’s a pretty small number of spaces in the garage but something about the driveway access on the skinny eastbound section of Richmond with the contra flow bike lane….. seems like a misplay. Wouldn’t be surprised if the city takes issue.
 
Red brick podium and heritage preservation looks good
Everything above looks a bit dark, depressing and Concord ish (in a bad way)
 
Looks a little bit like they are trying to make the tower so inconspicuous, you don't even realize its there. I imagine this project being on the bleeding edge of the 'core' has something to do with that. From a purely height perspective it provides an interesting precedent (should it be built), and set the way for downtown and liberty village to grow into one another. I just hope a cute victorian in Niagara is still kicking around in 20 years for me to buy lol
