South-east corner of Yonge & Scollard listed on CBRE as a retail and condominium development opportunity site. Currently occupied by three small low-rise properties with various retail units. Adjacent to the 18 Yorkville tower and "the Villas" mid-rise condos. Really thin sliver of a site, but the .pdf file lists several potential development concepts of rather high density. Couple of nice skyline shots in there too.
 
It looks like there are plans for a "luxury" high-rise at this site (which seems quite small).

Based on the design I'm guessing that it is in fact it is the auditing firm.

Only an accountant could propose something so boring.
