A development proposal has surfaced for 937 View which is the lot that runs between View and Fort directly east of View Towers and Lunds Auction.
The proposal is for a 17-storey condo tower, virtually equal in height to View Towers, with groundfloor retail on the View Street side and a 4-storey townhome building with groundfloor retail on the Fort Street side. The architects are Number 10.
Approximately ~130 units are envisioned.
Perhaps the DRA will have more info in the coming days.
EDIT: new proposals (2017) have been submitted for 930 Fort and 937 View:

Just think, the day might come when View Towers ISN'T Harris Green's defining building.

This could very well be the building that finally covers VT from the east. That is, if it's built taller than TV and not shorter.

- there is variation in the design as the building gets taller (it's not "cookie-cutter")
- the top floor is unique
- the design of the west face is markedly different from the design of the south face
Potential Negatives:
The small windows on the Fort Street side of the lowrise sort of give the impression that the lowrise is turning its back on Fort Street.
View Towers and the proposed tower would be very close together. I realize the east face of View Towers is essentially a blank face, with extremely small windows (I think they're the kitchen windows, aren't they?). But I'm wondering if the proposed tower would need to be slimmed a bit.

But even as is, I'd love to see this proposal go through! That mid-block walkway doesn't even look too bad if it's lined with actual shops and uses.

Being so close together there shouldn't be as great a difference in height in that rendering, should there be?
