There are very few cities in Canada with historical cores like Galt. Intensification is necessary but the number one priority should be preserving the existing fabric of the core, which this does none of, on a historical site no less.
I agree these towers will be used by NIMBY's across the region and I don't blame them. Developers/ architects should be blacklisted for 5 years from building in the region for contributing something like this to our built form. I feel bad for the residence of Galt. final much needed development was starting to take place and this was a good jumping off point. Mend the old with the new, but it was a huge swing and miss.
