It's not a final design either, but it's been made to look more realistic and fancy, which is what the general public expects. Sending extremely preliminary information to the public leads to people jumping to unnecessary conclusions that waste everyone's time when they need to respond to them.
Most clients I've worked with will only release a render when it's a complete enough state that the questions are focused into only a few areas like "why did you choose this material?" or "why aren't there more windows?", rather than "why is it all black?" or "this looks like babby's first SketchUp model". If the design sucks, that will probably be talked about regardless of what stage the render is released.
I should note that I have no affiliation with this project, so I'm not trying to defend the design. It's more that it's really clear about how people are examining the images in this thread, which should be a good lesson to some about sharing that info too widely.

This is going in for DP next week and it is being emailed out by the Flames now. I doubt this view is changing much between now and then. There isn’t much related to this side elevation that impacts the other three sides. The elements have a clear start and stop.
Good strategy by CSEC. Poor quality design partially leaked by non CSEC member. Then slow drip additional views of the other sides and interior so you can trick people into feeling like they’re getting more and become more accepting. Reality is it could all be a pile of coal.
When you need materials and finishes to be the design you have no architecture.
