Given that they are building this as of right and have an active site plan application.. I'm thinking these are what they intend to build.
The thing is that this developer isn't very good on the aesthetic front. They are ambitious and build what they propose.. they just build crap.
They are building the new tallest building in Kitchener right now. And it looks like this:

I find it funny that in a city with a population of less than half of Hamilton, that the building height is 39 stories and our downtown is limited to 30 stories. Yes, I know why that is but it doesn't mean I agree with it, and seeing this building in Kitchener at this height, it is hard not to feel some resentment on the matter, or perhaps even jealousy also.
