It's great to see. I particularly like the fact that the office spaces are spread throughout DTK, and not just concentrated in the far west end.

I thought these were going to be medical offices, but was pleasantly surprised to see them as high(er) end rentals. Great location if you work at GRH/Sun Life/Catalyst...

And not to fussed about a "skate-shop" + "BG Diamonds & Gold" being relocated for this. Does it work to have a wine-bar located beside "The Wine Rack"? Now we just need Shakedown Street (yes, I know, a DTK stoner institution) to relocate, and this block will be on it's way

I really wish they had added balconies to that side. It's good sensitive intensification though.

It would look nicer -- but the balconies would face a fairly busy street, and the back wall of the hospital. The opposite side is probably much more pleasant for actually using the balconies.

IMO 144 Park style townhomes would have looked better, especially considering the other nearby brick buildings (iE. the hospital) are of this reddish-brown brick.

Ohhhh right. I really like that block (as a total aside)
Thanks!

Yeah, that block probably belongs in missed opportunities.
