I think I see what they were going for w/ the podium. Different 'distinct' businesses taking up those spots right. So wanted each to have opportunity to be a bit unique. Any word on which business/restos will be in there?

Hmm, not sure. Faux meaning they look like storefronts but are residences? Or just the lobby/common areas?

Oh I'm not saying it's good at all. But originally wasn't it all open to the parking inside the podium?

I'm not certain if any building had ever tastefully integrated podium parking into a high rise condo. Are there any examples? Not sure if City Centre counts as it's only 1 floor...it's not horrible.

Mondrian in Ottawa does a pretty decent job, I think.

I think the implementation lost some of the drama of the proposal, but it still turned out very nice.

If this building is intended to be 100% residential and no commercial (if I understood correctly), what is planned for the ground floor, behind the "carolinest.ca" signage and orange tarp?
