Wander around a bit - it goes for kilometres, including a covered path out into the country that ends at the Santuario Madonna di San Luca.
One recalls that, years ago, most stores along King St had permanent or retractable awnings. It was especially appreciated along the “north” side of the street, which gets oppressively hot on sunny summer days.

Moffat Kinoshita Architects. They're not very well known...most of their work has been modest civic buildings throughout Canada, primarily in Ontario.

Correct. 72 meters/23 floors for one tower, 60 meters/19 floors for the other.
It definitely looks like they will start the tower at King/Madison first, with the second tower starting later, possibly overlapped with the construction of the first one.

Perhaps it changed? Or they may have two architecture firms working on different parts. I haven't been to the site to see, so I was going by the data listed on Emporis.

p.s. Does this project have a formal name?
Someone in another thread (I think DTK condos on Duke) had a neat satellite picture with 3d blocks of where all downtown projects will be...perhaps that same person can add these ones onto said pic...
