However, in the present case, I don't think the building in question is particularly noteworthy (no scale; no street presence; not particularly unique; plus it's already surrounded by office towers.)
  
The developer should have been allowed to tear it down IMO.  

I still shake my head that the City of Kitchener allowed the Lang buildings on Joseph St. to be torn down (save for Deloitte's building).

Right, and that's exactly why this developer doesn't want to go through the headache of all that. If they can save "the clock tower" (Back to the Future reference, not Kitchener) then there will be no moaning,

Anyway, I like the design, very interesting.
