surprisingly short for the area. Wonder why they aren't going for more.

St. Monica's and the mid-rises to the west maybe?
I'll be interested to see the supporting documents for this one to find the reasoning for being a few storeys shorter than all the slabs. Odd site with the Erskine address but no Erskine frontage. More density for Broadway!

I am not opposed to 12 storeys. Density is density, and 12 storeys brings dwelling units to what is currently a parking lot.

Update: Toronto's Yonge and Eglinton area is one of the prime development nodes in the city, and new proposals continue to pop up in the increasingly dense neighbourhood. Part of a growing wave of Tower-In-the-Park infill projects, a new proposal from Frastell Property Management Inc. is seeking intensification of an existing rental tower site extending south from 55 Erskine Avenue. The proposed rental development addressed to 50 Broadway would replace a surface parking lot to the south of the existing 1960s-era 17-storey, slab-style rental tower on Erskine, and to the east of St. Monica's Church on Broadway Avenue.

Well, this one is certainly not winning any architectural awards...
