TBH all of the recent proposals in the area are pretty great (simple in many cases but that isn't a bad thing)
This, ACE, 543 Richmond, 123 Portland, 445 Adelaide, Rush, 135 Portland and the Magna hotels are all great fabric buildings that are helping to connect Queen West and King West. The area is going to have a really interesting character once everything is completed.
...plus BIG King West, which is going to provide a great view terminus down Brant and I think draw people down to King (along with Brant St. improvements -- is that plan still a thing?). Also, it's been complete for a while now of course, not worth mentioning that Brant Park is excellent, and Impact Kitchen and its patio right at Brant and Adelaide are really solid contributors to the trend you've identified.
