I just got back, took some pictures of the display cards.

There's not much new info, some diagrams discussing future road changes, bus stops, and a couple of new renderings of the public plaza that's part of phase 1.
There is no info regarding the residential towers that are part of phase 1. One of the guys from shape properties said they were still working out much of the details for the towers. No official word on heights but images still suggest between 60-70 stories for the masterplan.
They have some pretty interesting concepts for making the development quite pretty along the different internal streets including: a dry creek, water rapids, a fountain, waterfall, suspended art, and "distinctive" retail architecture and landscaping.
If all goes to plan, this will be a really nice place to hangout. They show images of theater seating in one of the posters but they said nothing was confirmed as of yet.
I asked one of the presenters when we might expect to see some marketing material for the residential towers and he said "[they're] hoping for this fall". It was kinda funny because at this point Jim Bosa from Appia Developments (Solo District) popped up and started chatting with the guy and I overheard a comment about how it would probably take much longer than that but wouldn't tell me that.
Overall it was pretty dull, but I had some free coffee and a cinnamon bun
