The purpose of the application is to permit the construction of a 28-storey high-rise apartment with a
six-storey podium adjacent to the Alexander Fleck House. The applicant proposes 326 residential

This looks like a truly unique addition to the skyline. A flatiron looking design like the on the edge of the escarpment will be really striking!

Im just glad that there no longer messing with that heritage house . Its in such a unique spot I would of been upset to see it change . It does look like they would need to demolish the 3 storey walkup beside it which I dont mind as long as they have a plan to replace that housing as I believe it is considered low income housing .

I preferred the previous design. I'd like a shorter podium and slimmer tower. Tower design gives me a mix of Relevé/Renaissance, the Commons tower at Zibi and... Riverain.

They also seem to have an access road between the tower and Fleck House. That should be a pedestrian path only.
