This is the assembly from 250-258 Viewmount noted by @Ellec2221 in the thread for the development on the south side of the street. @Paclo
Here the would-be building is asking for 40s.
Site as it is: (per Streetview 2021)

Just one render, which the too-cool-for (architecture) school kids over at KirKor decided to do in black-and-white.
This is the same team from 'The Wilde' just up the street, so to speak, on Glencairn.
Site Plan:
Ground Floor Plan:
Site Stats:
Parking Ratio: 154 residential spaces (excl.Visitor) for a 0.32 parking ratio.
Elevator Ratio: 4 elevators to 477 units or 1 elevator per 0.83 elevators per 100 units/ 1 elevator to every 119 units (approx)
Comments:
The height ask here is aggressive. It is right next to Glencairn Station, which certain sets the stage for a tall building, but the nearest proposal, across the street has gone for 33s, so this would be a more than 20% premium to that.
If the ask is to be seriously considered it should be because they gave @HousingNowTO something to be happy about by way of affordable housing.
On parking ratio, its not terrible, but seems a smidge high for right beside a subway station.
Elevator ratio is a bit low, but not atrocious.
The architectural concept is KirKor; 'nuff said.
On Parkland, I'd like to see an offsite acquisition to expand existing area parks.
257 Hillmount to the north could enhance what is currently just a green corridor into a place;
The proposal here will be sited directly to the south and east of this home.
Alternatively, they could acquire more land on Romar to the south, to expand Benner Park
