I wondered when this would be finally revealed

Way too small of a lot for this if you ask me. It kills the development potential of surrounding sites, they need to assemble some more property. Maybe pick up a bit of frontage onto Yonge street.

What's his twitter handle? Looking for the original source.

Why do you think it kills the dev potential of surrounding sites?

THANKS!

The quintessential Toronto typology of a box, a preserved facade and balconies everywhere.

It's almost hilarious looking at an 80-floor tower sitting upon a two-storey facade. Not that I mind, though.

already earmarked for something else

Minimum building setbacks means the buildings fronting onto Yonge no longer have enough space to build a tower.

Won't Aura have set a new precedent in that regard for buildings in the vicinity? Thinking of the straight, diagonal line you see on dev apps...

I am curious about how one would justify that FSI.

Considering the scale of development in the immediate area, I assume they will be allowed a fairly tall tower here.

Oh, me too. Aura and Massey must have set new highwater marks in the neighbourhood when they were approved. Interested to see a comparison.

I'd also be interested to see a chart indicating the, say, 5- and 10-year trendline of average approved FSI in Toronto devs.

With double, triple, 10x times the lot size?
