I believe they're D-1 zoning, which has no height limit. The FSR limit would be an issue, but if they're taking advantage of the bonusing provisions that are already built in to the zoning then it doesn't have to go to council.

If they look like their render I agree, but I remember the early DTK Condos renders looked good, so I remain highly suspicious. Especially given ac3r's comment that someone he knows at SRM expects them to be redesigned before construction. I assume that's re-designed to reduce costs.
It makes me wonder why even make a good looking render in the first place if it doesn’t even need approval? Is that not just a waste of time and money to redesign it after?
I agree I don’t think these towers look bad in the renders, it’s just whether the end product is of the same quality (likely not).
The queen podium is also a disaster…
