Also the project is changing a bit. Along with a restored Royal Connaught, there was originally supposed to be 3 new towers @ 36, 33, and 24 floors with a 7 storey parking garage at their base, but beanmedic posted this yesterday:

Although 1 tower was cut down in height, the new 14 storey addition will make up for what was lost and there will now basically be 4 new towers instead of 3. The total number of new floors the original 3 towers would have added to the location was 93, but now the total is 95.
