I wouldn't count on 25 stories just yet. Armco is quoted as saying Shannex would "adhere" to the DA, which included the 1.8 million to HRM, and a 25 story height, but IIRC, that is the max allowance, not a strict requirement, eg. "this must be 25 stories".
I agree that a developer gets the most value building a full 25 stories, but it just may not suit their purposes. They built that barn shaped one at College and Tower, and the design for their Toronto building pictured a little bit back in this thread is remarkably similar.
I am currently lowering my expectations, but hoping to be surprised.
