Now that it's getting close to complete, it really is a bizarre little project.
Lots has been commented on the vertical part, but the base and ground-orientation is pretty weird and hostile. Something about this area and the Macleod Trail car-sewers dominating the experience around here really seem to make designers struggle with designing good ground floors in the area. That proposed 3 tower mega-project from a few year back across the street from this project also had proposed a similarly bizarrely terrible podium ground floor treatment.
