Not sure if there is a thread for this under a different name.

It being built behind the existing buildings
 
No, there was no thread for this one yet. This building was one of the many that were approved at the marathon August City Council meeting.

This is a tower-in-the-park infill that will still leave a lot of park—in fact a real one in this case one called Knob Hill Park, which has one of the Highland Creek tributaries running through it. This site, a couple blocks north of Eglinton Avenue, is not going to be changed from suburban into urban with just the one new building, (there are three existing Y-shaped towers next to it) as the area is quite thoroughly low-rise with curving crescents beyond the main streets, but that'll just never happen out here anyway. Still, this is a good intensification on the site.

The project is an Options for Homes one, which looks like it's a Graziani + Corazza design, but I don't know that for a fact.

Advertisements for this project have been on subway trains I'd say for about a month now with comparison to i believe another condo project happening near danforth and main. ill snap a photo of the add next time.. OfH doesn't do flashy big budget advertising so good pointing it out for not having a thread.

It's actually Icke Brochu Architects, according to documents on the Dev App site.
