I also wonder if the redesign hasn't seen the individual unit size shrink? An increase to 12 floors of residential from 9 shouldn't give you a 50+% increase in unit count.

It's likely that the units are smaller. That seems to be a trend in smaller cities with increased construction costs and with increases in allowed density. Most of the apartments build pre-COVID in Fredericton were 1100-1400 sq ft for two bedrooms, now many are sub 1000 sq ft.
