To be fair, while it's true that phase two towers are almost identical to phase one save facing different directions, the steel structure at the grade end are completely done differently from each other. Almost like night and day if you have it. And thus it's what caused the slowed down of the latter phase, is my guess.

Not great, yes, but I prefer it to NYC's ubiquitous sidewalk sheds.

Really that pessimistic? So you think proposals like Union Park, Union Centre, 191 Bay, The Hub, Pinnacle One Yonge Commercial and so on will not be built for the next 10-20 years or ever?
...unless there's a sudden need for office towers again. Or if one of the proposals gets lucky in acquiring an anchor client, that is.
None of those proposals will ever see the light of day. Many will likely be resubmitted as condo projects. I don't see any office towers being built in the next decade. After that, who knows. Unlikely anything big.
