The Bright Building (749 King St W) | 18 + 3 fl | U/C

The new podium look is a huge improvement, far better interaction with the street. If developments can be like this all along King St it would really be one continuous retail strip from downtown to uptown.

Google, KCI, GRH and the Mutual, among others, pretty much ensure that that can never happen, no?

I think you're right for GRH, as it's a whole block. But the downtown and uptown retail strips are already interrupted by office buildings, civic buildings, public square, etc. but I still think of them as pretty continuous. I guess I mean "mostly continuous with minor interruptions, enough to be pleasant to walk" .
