Render is on the application file now, though appears the documentation is having issues linking through on the portal.

Personally think the tower is fine, if not a bit boring as usual. Would really like to see what is planned in detail at ground level. The podium design is not much to look at and doesn't seem to have much imagination for how to integrate with the green at the corner or seem to really activate King at all which is a shame. Parking podiums remain a big barrier to making the street wall activated and that seems like a missed opportunity on King.

Looking on from the front here it looks ok, but boring. I am quite concerned about the potential spandrel fest that the wall on the right could be. 

Kitchener and Waterloo really need to start demanding better.
