If the phantom building on the other block represents something that's actually in the works, I sure hope they aim more for the 4- to 6-story range as versus the ~3 stories that seem to be indicated.

I'm fine with 4-5 story buildings, just build a ton of them. Carpet the neighbourhood in buildings like these, replace every 1-2 story building and parking lot.

Chapter 5 is a new mod-block building on Herald Street that will replace a small surface lot. As this image from the site shows, there will be five buildings constructed.

I used to have a studio in the Wilson Bros building. Le Fevre did a great job on that building, imo. It was a fun space. Sadly... it looks like the view looking west will officially be cut off if this development is carried out.
