I liked the first design for 1 Bloor Street East but the new one is much much better! I dont know how City Hall would have anything to do with the change?
All I do know is with the quality of architecture and urban design we see on this thread, it is easy to see why Toronto has one of the most progressive planning departments of any city I know.
