The building with the stone facade? That's what they want to demolish? Well that just seems strange to me. It's a nice looking building with a classic stone facade... why not build on one of the many vacant lots nearby instead?

 

They better not tear it down to build a 4-storey generic and mundane building. I can accept the loss but only if we get something high-quality. Minimum 10 storeys and high-quality architecture.

So they wanna demolish a nice building when there's a parking lot right next to it?

I'm gonna have to be a BANANA this time (unless the proposal is outrageously nice ).

[JFrosty]

Wait, what? What's pukey about this building exactly? It got a nice facade, and seems to be in good condition. And there's an empty lot just next to it. Why demolish it?

[GDS]

I can almost guarantee that nothing of stature will go there. Especially not with Atelier VAP as the lead. This is some of their history:

 

Beaubien / St-Laurent

 

Platopolis

[Cataclaw]

It doesn't make sense. This building is surrounded by parking lots on all 4 sides yet they want to destroy the building to make room?

I can't see which one it is... anyone can "streetview" it?

[Cyrus]

Maybe they want to expand over part of hte lots, and the lot too small

 

Anyway why destroy a parking lot instead of abuilding? Maybe the building is in need of serious repairs and has zero or less than zero value and the parking lots are more valuable. Or maybe the lots belong to other properties and the owners don't want to sell...

[Newbie]

Is it this one?

[Cataclaw]

Anyway why destroy a parking lot instead of abuilding?

 

Because cities are generally thought of as collections of buildings, not collections of parking lots.

 

Here's an illustration to help you understand:

 

A city:
