The leftmost rendered building (not the Beacon) is the hotel/condo for the conference centre. Millennium couldn't couldn't secure financing for the Marriott hotel component last year, so it isn't proceeding right now. There's an amending agreement on the site below that provides that they must proceed by Sept 30 this year.
The stepped building in the middle is Pacifica - well under construction (old Malaspina Hotel site).

Note sure about the next one - on the old Chez Michel restaurant site. Major Projects Inventory search showed that it is still on the books - 24 storey designed by Rafii.
The next two are on the old Civic Arena site - they will probably go ahead. The land was rezoned in connection with the rezoning for the conference centre. New ice rinks were built near Malaspina College.

I suspect that a number of these projects may have lost some appeal after the HarbourLynx shut down operations.
