Meanwhile, here's the "illustrative" rendering of the railyards development. It can be misleading, because the buildings actually haven't been designed yet.
But what it does is give a window into how the development is planned to be built out.






However, the buildings shown are on the lower end of the spectrum, not a true indication of the potential height of the towers.
For that, I've taken the potential numbers from the EIS of the western yards (I don't have the eastern yards in front of me)
to give a better representation of potential heights.





And here's the rendering with the location of the first office tower to be built marked, which will be on the eastern yards.
