This one is the subject of a Refusal Report to the next meeting of NYCC:

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ny/bgrd/backgroundfile-242821.pdf

There's lot of objections.....but key bits include, too tall, floor plate too large, stepbacks inappropriate, too windy/hostile to pedestrians/amenity users and requires off-site parkland dedication.
