No, it's not the homes on Soho: it's Queen Street itself. This section is covered by a Heritage Conservation District bylaw.

Walked by this site this morning. No need to post updates your pics are great. Looks like they're almost "topped out".

I am not totally sure but it looks to me like the design has changed from the plans/renders specifically on the Soho St. Elevation. Could be too early to tell but the corner looks handled differently irl than in the plans.

How so? Aside from the intake louvre, it looks the same to me.

I quickly overlayed how the brick panels appear to be installed IRL vs how the corner is addressed in the renders. I think my scale might be a bit off but it'll do. It's not a huge difference or change, it just looks like the brick portion facing Queen now wraps a bit more around the corner onto Soho. I noticed it as soon as Interchange42 posted this photo:

This is really uninspired. I had hoped for more from MEC.

I'll wait till it's finished but it's starting to look like a big box store in an industrial park/strip mall 'architecture'.

Everything about MEC says budget starting with the logo redesign years ago. I have been a customer for many years and i still will be but they have made some very bad decisions in the last 10 years.

We still don’t learn it seems. I guess we’ll have to wait for the next boom to right this mistake. I’m not sure how many “world class” cities would put something like this up in such a location.
