The Jukebox developer should take a hint. An easy and attractive way to break up a long/monotonous facade is with a clean, glassy section.

I still maintain that it is much too bulky looking, almost institutional. And the drawing of the blue PT Cruiser in front doesn't help.

This building is part Jukebox, part Aria:

You are not serious are you? That building is the most suburban building I have seen in a while. I guess it would fit in perfectly with the crap across the street.

I just noticed something, it looks like the roof outline of a second rounded tower sticking out just at the top right of the render. A round mechanical penthouse or maybe there is another cylinder going down the back?
This spot might actually be ok for a mid-block walkway, at least on paper I can see why city hall wants it. In their mind, (on paper) regent's park is a mid-block walkway since the city required the landscaping and walkway to be open to the public. With a mid block going to fort there might actually be a reason for 2-3 humans within the city limits to walk through there to perhaps get to a shop on fort street, maybe. Better than the 0 humans that would use the capital 6 walkthough.
The city has a real mid-block walkthrough agenda. In my emails with them they were adamant that mid-block walkways are critical and once their are enough of them they will be well used. I support them where they make sense, but city hall doesn't seem to be able to figure out where they make sense or not.
Pleasant Mid block lined with shops past view towers hooking up with London drugs? Great idea. Spooky dark alley only 40m in from the next street starting and ending nowhere behind capital 6? Idiotic.

...why does victoria hate glass?
It's certainly a new thing but it seems to be part of the anti-Vancouver backlash.

Curved glass makes Pam's head explode and can't even be mentioned or you will be forcefully removed from city hall and made to pay for the cleanup.
I laughed out loudly at that one!

With View Towers just down the road, this area needs something that looks nicer than an inner-city jail. In that rendering, I see there is a large glass section just to the right of the grain elevator or whatever it is supposed to be. Opening up that area below with a couple of small eateries or whatever might be nice.

Are those stairs leading up to the retail on the west side of the building?
Near the blue pillar thingy? You may be right: stairs! If so, kiss the possibility of viable retail good-night 'cause nothing kills viable on-street retail faster than stairs.
