I think this is a much better design. My main comment though is I preferred the taller podium from the previous iteration. Robie is a really wide St and in conjunction with the development next door I think the podium under the Robie St tower should be taller. Maybe a few more setbacks carved out of the tower to redistribute the untis to the podium levels.
These almost look like they took some inspiration from the original Halifax Infirmary. It didn't have great street presence but the brick and detail work was nice.
