King street is also pretty underwhelming for the gateway corner of UpTown (Bridgeport from 85 brings you to King/UpTown here; you'd hardly know you should turn left to reach our main promenade). Amazing that they can't see fit to put any more trees in than what I expect are the existing ones? Wouldn't this be the kind of site where you could get away with less parking and put something more welcoming on Bridgeport and Regina? My previous guess at how few 2 bedroom options existed seems woefully inaccurate, perhaps, given how many studio (0 bedroom) units there are...
I for one am a champion of intensification, but this really doesn't do anything for me.
Solution = push it down 4 floors so the parking is underground. And parkspace is grade level.
Instead we get 4 floors of above grade parking. Classic development for this area and this developer.
