Oxford are pretty poker-faced right now before the first virtual consultation coming up later this month, but here's a summary from their website:

What has happened since 2017?
Following the 2017 community engagement process, Oxford initiated a detailed assessment of the existing site conditions, with a particular focus on current and planned transit facilities (e.g. TTC subway, TTC bus and ECLRT). The transit facilities at Canada Square present unique, site-specific challenges for redevelopment and close coordination with the transit agencies (TTC and Metrolinx) will be required throughout the redevelopment process.
While many aspects of Oxford’s site assessment remain ongoing, it has been determined that the redevelopment will need to be phased to accommodate the active transit operations on the site. Further, the first phase of the redevelopment will occur at the north side of the site which will not be available until the ECLRT project is complete (currently anticipated in 2022).
Based on the anticipated completion date of the ECLRT project, and informed by the 2017 community engagement process, in the fall of 2019 Oxford initiated a process to engage a best-in-class design team for the Canada Square redevelopment. The design team was selected in early 2020 and master planning work was initiated.
In mid-2020, the project team began to reconnect with local community groups, picking up where the 2017 engagement process left off. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is anticipated that planned community engagement meetings and events through the summer and fall of 2020 will be held virtually to ensure the health and safety of all participants. In addition, the project team has launched this website to allow broad community participation in the engagement process.
