Honestly ridiculous that landlords actually spent money to cover up those buildings. Downtown has such a tacky feel because of these coverings as there was never much consistency between the coverings from building to building, and when you consider how not every building did a cover it just looked sooo out of place.

Happy they are embracing the older architecture, should bring back some class to downtown and hopefully change how people view the city as we start to embrace the classic look

Was literally on the GO28 bus yesterday thinking how good it would be if this building was rehabbed.

When it's done it won't look so out of place.

This is great news. I remember banking at “The Howard” in the 80’s with my mom.

I vaguely remember seeing this proposed as some tallish 744 style building. While I like 'tall' this just seems better suited for filling in those downtown blanks

Really?

I agree with 66nexus, it is much more important to have a string of active buildings over just one or two super tall buildings. We should not be putting all of the pent up demand in a few buildings as they just end up becoming islands and not pushing success to other parts of the city.

These projects go a long way to making the downtown area feel more lived in

No no I want that too, I am just surprised a tall building was planned for this site, wonder what it looks like

Are you asking regarding the tall (ish) building in front of 744, or about filling in the downtown blanks?

Paramount Assets rocks. Now if they could only buy the Griffiths Building from Yanky Tauber and rehab it for real.

So are there any renderings of what the final product will look like?
