The window spaces on the old facade look like they actually line up with the floors of the new tower. I guess they're adding some extra bricks to make it line up that way.
Yes, they are removing a row of windows from the historical facade, and making each floor taller to line up with the new tower.
The details are descibed in the city planning report: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2006/agendas/committees/te/te060509/it006a.pdf
PS, by my count the core is now at the 26th floor, so we should see the next core narrowing the next time they raise the forms, in about a week.
