I'm positive if there was any news, it would be noted on this website in short order. This is one of the more anticipated projects in the city.

A new application was filed yesterday, I'm told from a consultant on the file ... I'd expect to see some new drawings soon?

As promised by @SonyPayStation new Docs went live on this application overnight.
First, the Cover Letter:

***************************
(my) Summation: Development is substantially similar to what we've been seeing; but the footprint is shifted to the north, in the direction of Front Street, resulting in a an enlargement of the park area of just over 10,000ft2
Park programmatic use is still highly conceptual, but any private uses initially contemplated have been removed.
From the Arch Plans:
From the Landscape Plans:
There's a bunch more.........but it's just after 5am, and I'm coffee-less for now.......LOL
I will try to analyze any changes later, to the extent there is anything worthy of further commentary, I shall post!

Also we might need to update the name of the architecture firm in the title. They're known as Pelli Clarke & Partners now.

On further study..........though referenced in the text above; the interface between the overbuild (rail deck) and Blue Jays way has been improved substantially, allowing for a much less cramped sidewalk along the latter.

‘Overbuild cap for future phase’ refers to…additional park? Or another tower?

That's correct; the phasing plan is to build from west to east, in two stages.

What would be amazing from Oxford is to decide to convert one office tower into a condo tower. It would be amazing and with such an amazing and powerful architecture, it would sell like hot cakes. Not only it will sell fast, but it would be profitable and generate a strong return on investment for the company. With such a location and with a so iconic design, Oxford could charge a huge extra premium for their potential condos.
It would also be an wonderful and necessary addition to Toronto's boring skyline in a close future.
I know that I am a poor dreamer, but it would be awesome if Oxford could think about it. I know that the developer will never see my message even in my craziest dreams, but it's not forbidden to dream.
