Interesting, I like the "massing" better in the second iteration, but like the street grid system of the first design. I think it is nice that they included a park, but I wish it was better connected to Northfield, seems like the "park" will be meant for only residents of the development and not a park for all of waterloo to enjoy. The retail row was better in the first design, but I could see it not getting much outside traffic. The pedestrian bridge is pretty much cancelled at this point. I have very little hope of it ever being built. I am surprised who ever owns the site switched from ABA to Turner Flesher

Like Ac3r said, this feels very suburban compared to some of the newer master planned communities in Toronto, Vaughan or Richmond Hill.
