YSL grinding to a halt may be a blessing in disguise. The re-designed tower wasn't very appealing and we would have been stuck with it for, perhaps, another 100 years. Hopefully, when YSL gets relaunched it's relaunched with a design as good as the original.

^ Yeah I'm sure this is what Gresto was referencing. It's the 42 storey addition on top of the existing 19 storey building which was recommended for refusal in 2019 (with a few hundred planning objections). Haven't heard anything since or whether the proponent challenged the city at LPAT.
2150 Lake Shore - 15 towers from 16 storeys to 71 storeys (225m) - First Capital Allies and Morrison - revised Master-Plan submitted in July.
The latest July 2020 master-plan has a number of changes from the 2019 plan, including a large increase in office/commercial, jumping from 41,900 m² to 64,400m² of space.The park component has doubled in size and the overall public space on site has increased by 11%.

That's the one, thanks. I love it, and I don't know why, as I have never been partial to the "shards of glass" aesthetic.
