I think he was saying that that part is nice, not that it is the epitome of modern design. Having said that, I challenge you to find a continuous King street front in KW that is nicer than that, new or old. I can give plenty of examples in other cities that are nicer, again, new and old, but here the standard has generally been rather low and it generally will be rather easy to build something nicer than what is being replaced.
