The street frontages are awful, King side is literally going to be half a glassed in accessibility ramp (why not build closer to grade?? and the Caroline side is just as bad. There are large blank or nearly blank walls on all sides and even if they stain the panels dark it will clash with the blue (tinted?) windows

I 100% agree on this. If the city could simply enforce better massing it would make a huge difference in new developments.
