    This proposal is for a 34-storey building. You can see elevations (side profiles) of the building starting on page 78 of the application booklet. Note that the current proposal includes a “decorative” architectural roof above the top floor that covers the rooftop mechanical equipment. The architectural roof stands 3 m (10 ft.) higher above the top floor. 

    In addition to the renderings, the applicant has provided schematic diagrams showing how the proposed building compares with the streetscape, starting on page 22 of the application booklet. Note that the streetscape outlines include both existing buildings and recently approved, but not yet constructed buildings.
