Lets have a closer look at the above, shall we?
This is the intersection of Hubert and Danforth.
I included the principle property and a small secondary one, based on what looks like the most logical build out to me:
The above is a bit over 2,100m2 or about 23,000ft2
This is the southern elevation of the site, as is, from Streetview:
This is the western elevation:
@ProjectEnd is bound to be a pretty good judge of heights........but I will say, when comparing that massing shown to the approved heights in the Scarborough Junction Master Plan, I read this building as being a bit shorter, closer to high 20s, or low 30s. But maybe my guess is off....
****
Note that this site, and the lands directly north thereof fall outside the MTSA for Scarborough GO:
This will be an interesting case to make, as I think it all but requires wiping out they yellow belt entirely on the east side of Hubert, and then doing something to transition/buffer the west side.

You're right - I probably overestimated by about 10 storeys. For some reason I'd remembered those outlying Scarborough Junction buildings as being in the low 30s, but they're 19 and 23 respectively. So mid 30s will probably the the initial ask here.
Achille Developments is proposing a 33-storey, 380-unit mixed-use residential & retail building with a design by BDP Quadrangle on the northeast corner of Danforth Road and Hubert Avenue, west of Kennedy Road in Toronto's Birchmount Park neighbourhood.

And this is site is now the subject of of a public facing AIC application in line w/the expectation of myself and @ProjectEnd.
www.toronto.ca
Height: 33s
Architect: BDPQ
@Paclo
Note that the address given is significantly different, but this is the same site, it's shown in the AIC as 614 Danforth Road, which appears to be correct.
From the above:
(note that this proposal is foreground left, the right further back is Scarborough Junction)
The above was extra work for me, before work, because some planners, ahem MHBC think it's ok to include their renders sideways in the Docs!
@3Dementia
As the push here is based on PMSTA (though it is outside the City defined zone around Scarborough GO) @HousingNowTO may take an interest.
Site Plan:
Ground Floor Plan:
Elevators: 3 to 380 units or 126.6 units per elevator
Comments:
Attractive enough, the height ask is going to be read as aggressive here, but with Scarborough Junction nearby, they might just get it..........
A bit light on elevators
Unit sizes are above average
At only 60 resident parking spaces ( a 0.16) parking ratio.........somebody better put a supermarket in the area......

I'm trying to decide whether to accept this as a flatiron...

A 33-storey development has been proposed near the Scarborough GO station. https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2025/0...site-massive-development-scarborough-go.58708
