Notably, the west tower no longer features a cantilever, and the existing houses along Berkeley are being retained. Building heights have been revised as well. Elevation drawings:

Dream Impact Trust’s (MPCT-UN-T) developments continue to make good progress, but the trust is suspending its monthly distribution to retain an additional $11 million annually amid concerns about liquidity, its portfolio manager said.

Dream Impact is continuing to look for partnership opportunities to redevelop Toronto’s 49 Ontario St., a wholly owned 88,000-square-foot commercial building that achieved rezoning for approximately 809,000 square feet of residential and 68,000 square feet of non-residential space last May.
The site is expected to add approximately 1,250 residential units to the downtown node and Cooper would like to start developing it next year.
Dream Impact (MPCT-UN.TO) just released their Q2 Financials and said they are taking steps to get this project started.
"We have made significant progress on the construction financing for 49 Ontario and are working through partnership opportunities so that the $700.0 million development will advance and we will repay the land loan."
