Stopped ... how, and then what? We have absolutely zero rules for architecture outside the heritage districts. How are you going to deny a site plan or building permit based on the design? Or force a developer to design something that you like?

I'm not fan of this building, but we have no tools to force better design, so developers can do what they want. And I will argue that housing is still better than no housing.

I agree.  The building looks ok to me.  Other then the building across from Grand River Hospital, Vanmar, Vive, IN8 are at least trying to build in this economy.  I don't have my hope up for all the other many proposed developments. (The one at the corner of Park and Victoria won at the OLT, yet how many years now without a peep)
