Drove by the site today. The screen looked massive from the glimpse I got and these pictures reinforce that.

Loving the updates, thanks! The green glass on those two new structures appears to match the copper roof nicely.

I think there is a difference. N.P. Square in Toronto was, in the opinion of many, pretty good as it was, and not obviously in need of a massive overhaul. That's not true of the area around Miss. City Hall, which was very poorly designed back in the early 80s, featuring forbidding walls apparently intended to block views and to keep people out. It needed a complete rethink, and most people accepted that.

The city hall should also have been built right on Burnhamthorpe instead of a block north. That way you wouldn't need TWO squares across the street from each other to make city hall visible from Burnhamthorpe.

I think the media wall is turning out better than the various renderings so far. Curious to see how the rest of it (especially the back facing Burnhamthorpe) develops.
