It's a centre zone lot and on a transit-priority street so the density is welcome but I wish instead of just copying all of their other projects they would add some local neighborhood flair. The project going in beside this is mimicing the "Halifax Box" architectural style.
May Street is going to be unrecognizable soon. I think every building on the street has been built, demolished, or heavily renovated over the last decade.

Agreed.

Just to be clear,
Steele has demolished the houses.
Honda hasn't had anything to do with it. Steele is a franchise owner for a Honda dealership, among many others. Honda is the company that supplies vehicles for them to sell at that particular dealership.
That's why I roll my eyes when I read slogans like "Homes not Hondas". While it sounds catchy, it should be the business conglomerate of Steele that people should be targeting. Keep in mind that this land they are buying will be a great investment for Steele as land values increase, and there is development pressure in the area. I think they are playing the long game here.
Edit: for further clarity, I made the statement re: Steele above just for the sake of accuracy of information. I wasn't implying that Dmajackson did anything wrong, in case it's taken that way. Sometimes when I reread my posts later, I realize that they appear to be stated more strongly than I was intending at the time.
