As per Wallman's website, that was only a competition proposal concept only. The official rendering is the current one we've been seeing for some time now.
 
I guess we'll be seeing this breaking ground sooner than later

Canada's housing market is roaring back with black-tie condo launches - BNN Bloomberg

More than a thousand brokers and agents sipped wine and nibbled ahi tuna hors d’oeuvres at the black-tie sales launch of a luxury condominium in downtown Toronto last month.

A spokeswoman for RioCan REIT, which is developing the building with Metropia and Capital Developments,
said more than 70 per cent of the units have been sold since the mid-September launch.
 
Lots of talk on this one

^They can sell it however way they want, but these "luxury" condos have transformed Yorkville into something unrecognizeable, and frankly, the area no longer has that air of prestige and opulence that it once had despite the evolution of Mink Mile and all of these luxury condo units.

I wouldn't say that. This block of Yorkville was never as high end as the block west of Bay Street - it was never really high end at all, actually. The block west of Bay is just as luxurious as always. it very much has that air of prestige it always has had to me. The stores are more luxurious than ever and the street rebuild with the cobbles make the whole thing feel very expensive. If anything it's even more upmarket than it was 10 years ago.
