I don't see any substantive changes at this time, so I will just flag @Paclo to double check.

I don't believe this has yet received zoning approval? But they've gone ahead and submitted a site plan app... only in Adam and Catherine's world...

The one positive here is that they aren't slapping the facades of a homes on a 63 storey tower. That's not heritage preservation. That's the perception of heritage preservation in a city dependent on real estate development. The history save the outer facade is erased; everything from good and bad alterations to the lives that have passed through. Selective demolition and propping up these facades must come at additional time and costs too.

More blocky towers with minimal property setbacks. What's the plan? The city of Toronto to hit 10 million poor souls?

Why erase some of the history when we can erase...all of it?
