Architecturally, I think something like the north corner would have been more in keeping...as for Stabucks...do we need another Coffee shop on Parliament Street??

I think the new building is better than the rundown mess that was there before. However I want to know when the units will be finished... does anyone know?

It may not work strictly within the architectural styles of the area, but it definitely could be a lot worse. It has a good grade-related relationship and isn't completely out of context. The main issues is really with the detailing of the roof, which could've been peaked to reflect the buildings around it.
