I just cant see something over 200 meters going up at y/e without a serious fight from the neighbourhood. and at 64 stories i cant see this being below 200m..... hope it happens though. I would love to have a 200+meter tower in my neck of the woods, as would UT HQ im sure :D

The area is now littered with recently retired people who are looking for a project to occupy their time.

Clearly this is an intersection that should be intensified.

true, but i think the NIMBYS have a case ...
maybe 2 towers of 40+s but forget 60+s; and i think the podium should be higher than 3s, perhaps 5s to match some of the low-rise commercial buildings around the area.

The 60+ stories could be a ploy to get what they want, which might be 10-15 stories less. If they actually asked for what they wanted, and it still got chopped, it would make the whole thing unprofitable. Just a potential view.

After the minto midtown mess that took upwards of a decade to sort out, and with the other mess of a proposal a block west at duplex and eglinton, I don't think any developer would add an extra inch more height to their plans of how tall they want their building. Saying 60+ when shooting for 50ish storeys may work in other parts of the city, but NIMBYS in this area are quick to stir up dissent. If these developers are asking for 64ish storeys, i assume that they intend to follow through. I hope they build it, and i hope its very tall. guna be a rough fight though.
 
Even though a bit taller than expected.....how do you figure a tough fight, when this development is right at the corner of a future Eglinton LRT/Subway and Yonge hub.
On the other side of the street, Rio-Can Yonge Eglinton centre is approved for an additional 7 storeys (aprox. extra 30 meters in height). also 33-44 Eglinton has an appeal to the OMB for a lack of a decision within the prescribed time for a 48 storey building.

How does that improve the situation? Why is 60 s such a bitter pill that 40 s would improve?

it's 25% greater density !

keeping in mind even though it's a transit node, there are / will be other developments in the area (at least 10 towers i can think of) which will continue to further add more people and traffic.
it's very likely that the condos will be built much more in advance of the TTC lines being anywhere near completion, or started, if history is any indication.
 
“We are talking to residents, talking to the councillor, talking to the TTC, talking to Metrolinx. We are still at the talking stage. We are nine months away from filing a proposal. We don’t want to surprise anybody. We don’t want to have problems like we had here,†he adds, a reference to community opposition to the three-storey mall RioCan will build on the northwest corner, starting next spring." - October 19, 2011

It hasn't even been 9 weeks, let alone 9 months.
