I can confirm that the Partisans plan is not being advanced.

We haven't actually seen the renderings of the new proposal, have we?
old vs new buildings always frightens people. And yet they always become iconic. It’s at least clean looking. tacky. Perhaps, I prefer “whimsy”.Would be great on another building.
The space is beautiful, but clashes with the original building in a negative way.
Later this year, promises Mr. Barth, a lighting scheme by Burlington’s Lightstudio that will properly illuminate the restored limestone, brickwork and deep cornices of 357, as well as Dream’s other buildings in the area that they’ve now dubbed “Bay Street Village.”
The Dream Collection is comprised of 11 boutique luxury office buildings on Bay, Richmond and Temperance Streets totaling about 500,000 square feet. They’re getting a variety of upgrades, including new facades, lobbies, bathrooms, elevators, and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems.
“There’s not a class of buildings like that in Toronto,” said Dream Office REIT COO Gord Wadley in an interview with RENX. “We’re on track to get everything complete by around Q2 of next year.”
Some of the Dream Collection buildings back on to a “h”-shaped alley which Wadley said the REIT will animate into a “kind of European outdoor setting” that will feature stores, licensed restaurants and seating.
