I think they'll get away with it in the eyes of the public if they just switch it with a radio tower like One World Trade Center in NYC did.

I'm almost certain that's a rendering of the original design.

no thats a new render because it shows right in the middle of the building there is a mechanical floor, some kind of lobby on top floors and the antenna is way taller than previous design.

A couple of screenshots of a larger render posted in April 2020 by Zec Consulting (Note: source address below not linked as site may not be secure).
A better look at the top floors and spire.

I’m not nearly as educated as most of you guys, so maybe you can help me out here. So does this mean the project is gaining traction? Or simply kicking tires?
The part I don’t understand is if The Hub was having trouble finding tennants, commerce court would be in the same boat no??

it's just a new render nothing important. unless we find a new document or an application this is just a render.

I think it is also worth noting that HPAs website uses the older renderings on their project page. It could be due to the fact that they never updated their site with the revised design in the first place, but I am actually finding it quite difficult to find images of the revised designs outside of UrbanToronto. Everywhere else seems to be going with the original.
Even though a third design has not been submitted to the City yet, I do know that one was created over the last couple of years. No idea if it's totally ready to submit yet, but as that hasn't been so far, then QuadReal has their reasons. Some members here should remember that developers are not working to your timeframe, but to their own, and there could be a million reasons why they haven't pulled the trigger yet.
In regard to the pending resubmission design though, assuming the new rendering shows something that's mostly ready to go, it combines elements from both the first and second submissions, rather satisfyingly. It no longer looks like someone bursting out of their suit like the first version did, while unlike the second version it's no longer a boring (but elegant) box—the facets will give it personality the box version lacked. Is that a projecting glassed-in balcony we can see on the west side of the upper storey amenities?
Looking forward to an eventual resubmission, whenever that is, the plans, and more renderings!

I like the third one better than the other two.
On the third, the various angles match the angle of the roofline required by shadowing restrictions.
It seemingly doesn't have the fat cat bursting shirt buttons of the first design (it looks like a cladding change to de-emphasize it).

Can You Really Bust a Gut from Eating Too Much at Once?
R. Lee asks: In Seven an obese man is made to stuff himself until his stomach bursts. Is this really possible? Wouldn’t you just naturally throw up? Although extremely rare, some people actually have ruptured their stomachs after eating too much, and, perhaps not surprisingly, many did not...

I would have to disagree. The “buttoned up” version was actually quite elegant. I’m not entirely seeing that it was “busting at the seams”.
But, I’m also not upset about the new iteration either. This building is in good hands with HPA.
