Although this is extremely tall for the area (180m) I can also see it recommended to be chopped down. What are your thoughts?
Between King and Charles on that block there is already 3 30+ floor buildings proposed, the Vive building has gotten it's OPA/ZBA for 30 floors, Dov Capital is doing 33+37 it just needs site plan approval, so those are almost transitional heights to something like this, looking at the PARTS plan this is what was expected for all of the industrial so it makes sense especially with how underutilized the area around Borden is. But I can definitely see council asking for a reduction in height. But overall it definitely is nice to see development on this end of Downtown like this.
The only reason this can go that high is since it is right outside the AZR zone for the airport, if this was over on the property next to it with the City Cafe they wouldn't be allowed to go that high.
