Do we even have a design for this site? I see a massing model, but not a design.

Seems like the choice between office or residential has to be made before we see a design.
No, the massing will be the same in either version. They give the basic dimensions of the tower (setback heights, etc)., so this massing is basically the tower minus the details of what it looks like (facade, materials, etc.)
What it does is answer the question of whether the corner building will remain. As of now, it will, but it will be dwarfed by this new tower. Gives you an idea of how massive this tower will be.
Also, for 78 office floors, I find the height to be a little conservative. All of the new office towers in the city of similar height have about 20 or so less floors.

Forgive me if I am not using this term correctly, but what I meant by design was the look, including facade, materials, etc.

And it's the same. That's why it has the same massing. Maybe further along in the approvals process, we'll get a look at where they are with that, but it's expected to be pretty much the same. Maybe that's why I mentioned earlier it's a modest height for an office tower of 78 floors. They have a design that will work either way. But Extell is known for making changes along the way. So we'll just have to stay tuned.
