^I think application was submitted to the city council to construct a 52 storey tower instead of 54 storey.
54 storeys in the thread title refers to the second phase. The 52 storeys quoted in the Building Application on the previous page refers to the first tower, which we consider 49 storeys tall. They're counting the mechanical levels in the crown which we (and most other bodies that keep skyscraper statistics) do not.

^ thanks for the clarification. At first I thought that they chopped the building from 54 to 52 storeys.

Does that mean they have to reapply and go through the approvals process again?

ANCHOR TENANT
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Canada's fifth-biggest lender, said on Wednesday it plans to move into a new headquarters in Toronto in 2020 that will house 15,000 employees. CIBC said it has agreed to be the anchor tenant of Bay Park Center, a new 2.9 million-square-foot campus in Toronto's financial district, across from Union Station, the city's main railway station, and the Air Canada Center, home of the Toronto Raptors basketball and Toronto Maple Leafs ice hockey teams.

This! The logo sticks out like a sore thumb in the worst way. It would have been so much classier if it is a "stencil" on the glazing that is lit up (like those carved polycarbonte blocks).
Having said that, glad to see this going ahead. Interesting that the North Tower has a CIBC logo as well - are both phases going ahead at the same time (likely, since the 2.9M sq. ft figure)?

Yep, my only qualm with this... Otherwise, it feels like the 1970s the way the city's office stock is booming.
Too bad the bank can't revert to the old <I> logo as it was infinitely sexier.
