An update on the demolition that happened here: it looks like everything was demolished between Pape and Eaton Ave aside from the building at the corner of Pape/Danforth.

I'm not affiliated with the project anymore, but yes, it looks like there has been a change in the number of levels per "boxes". The only explanation I can think of is that they increased the number of units in the upper/rotated levels since they have better views to the lake.
