Excellent work at
@1Ć0 !
Let me see what I can add:
Aerial View:
Streetview:
(Oakmount)
All the residential lowrise in this shot through to the extant apartment:
Mountainview side:
Estimated Unit Count: 2,200
Immediate height precedent ~16s to the north; area precedent (approval) 35s.
If we went with 35s, and a hypothetical 1,100 units per building...........that would be, assuming 34 tenanted floors we would get 32 units a floor. That sounds far too high for a conventional floor plate.
At a 750m2 floor plate that would be 22m2 or just over 200ft2 per unit.
So that leads to a conclusion that this proposal either squeezes in a third tower, or we're looking at two, old-school N-S slab towers, with oversized floor plates.
Of course, they could just ask for 70s, LOL....................
We'll just have to wait and see, when
@sayfelysium decides to make the proposal fully public.

Let me put in for a novel community benefit here.............I don't think
@sayfelysium would want to eat the entire cost, but I could see them getting the ball rolling and contributing.
This project abuts the subway tunnel just to the south........and well..........Keele Station just to the east. But access to Keele is terrible from here.
You can see Keele Station from Mountainview:
Zoomed:
This is the Keele frontage:
What about a new entrance to Keele Station, both at-grade on the west side of Keele, but also up top, on Mountainview, with direct access to each platform.
I don't know the details of how the TTC's structure is set up there, so any cost estimate would be quite crude, but I think a stairs only concept (ramps from Mountainview if needed) could probably be delivered for under 15M.
If you want elevators.........add at least another 6M, if not more.
But I like the idea that this could really augment the value to this assembly and the extant apartments and probably set up redevelopment on the balance of the area streets where SFH still prevails.
If elevators were delivered, you place them outside the fare-paid zone so that they can be used by area residents to access Keele Street fare-free.
