I'm thrilled, but I'm worried they'll make it worse (cuz this is Toronto). Is this just a different rendering or have there been any changes?

I wouldn’t worry about it too much. It will take 20 years before completion of this project (like City Place) and during that time we’ll have several changes in all levels of government who will change anything and everything one after another.

Usually there will be more pressure to densify once these developments come to fruition. Although, first capital should
There are varying building heights, and some are tall which is fine because toronto is going to add an extra million people by the time it is done. They look really pretty and add character unlike the ugly slabs at city place.

For the sake of this thread I wont go into deep details, but here's a great read which applies to many businesses in Toronto and the GTA:
Taking the pulse of the Ontario Food Terminal
The Ontario Food Terminal is at the heart of a complex food web. The 40-acre facility, near downtown Toronto, is of interest to the Ontario government which has appointed an agricultural advisory group to look at several provincial issues, including changes to the Ontario Food Terminal network...

I get that. But if ends up with the look and quality of City Place though, it would be best if this project is sunk now to allow a better developer at the wheel is what I am saying.
Are those still the placeholders?
Following that story from January, 2019, in July, 2019 the provincial government passed legislation to protect the Ontario Food Terminal.

This should be fully complete by 2045. By that time the Square One District will be done, East Harbor will be complete, Metro Toronto Convention Center will be re-developed, a new Stadium replacing the Skydome would have been built, and the Ontario Line will be done as well and hopefully Toronto will have an NFL team with a stadium at Downsview and many other skyscrapers would have been built including Mirvish+Gehry, and YSL.
Toronto will only be second to New York in terms of skyscrapers in North America.
