TEK Tower (30 Francis) | 45 fl | U/C

[ZEBuilder]

First slab of the tower with its rounded corners

Did they remove a floor on the podium compared to initial plan/renders or can I just not count properly?
The renders on their website appear to show 6 floors of podium, with the rounded tower slabs starting on the 8th floor.
The photo above appears to have 5 floors of podium, with the rounded tower slabs starting on the 7th floor. 

The most recent publicly available architectural drawings file also shows a 6 floor podium and then the tower instead of the 5 that is built. It could be a case of parking wasn't selling so they got rid of a floor of the podium and just replaced it with a tower floor. In one of the projects that IN8 is planning in Hamilton they've recently resubmitted with a significant reduction to the initial parking they proposed so they might've used this tower to justify it. 

Another thing is that the rendering is from before it had SPA approval and things can definitely change between the initial rendering and now. If you look at the corner of Francis/Charles you'll notice that there is only one column not two like in the rendering, another difference is there appears to be balconies fronting Francis in the podium however those aren't in the renderings either so things definitely change.
