The reason you see more extensive marketing centres than ever before are because they drive higher prices despite high demand.
The old picture was very deliberately used as it shows less view blocking from adjacent properties. Most developers don't like to market their competitors either.

It's also the same reason they use (misleading) renderings showing their tower like it's standing alone in an open park instead of the reality (in most places) which is that it will be surrounded by towers all-around it and that you'll have almost no clear views from your unit.
If anyone wants a good laugh, they should take a look at Midori's rendering at Metrotown that gave no hint that it would be fronted by both MET Towers and the Park Tower facing (blocking) Nelson street and Bonsor park, and that by the time all is said and down there will probably be an additional two towers - albeit slightly shorter(one to its North and one to it's North-East across from Malborough) not counting Vittorio and Imperial to its immediate South.
In other words, it will enitrely be surrounded by towers on almost every adjacent block when all is said and done.
