As per the renders on the previous page, what you're seeing is 2 towers sharing one podium. That's also in the text description on the sign.

You meant this one, for which we have a thread:
250 Viewmount Avenue | 143.76m | 40s | Chestnut Hill | Kirkor
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) Application...
Every project UT tracks has a pin on the map.
Here's a link to the map for your reference:
For simplicity's sake.......
- Black is proposed
- Purple is under construction
- Blue is complete

...is there a reason why this quiet treed street is getting a glut of new towers here?

I wonder when we'll see development east of Allen Road.

The houses on the east side, particularly from Briar Hill south, are generally Leaside/Forest Hill jr. grade, with some exceptions. Much more expensive per buildable ft2, and there will be way more fights.
I do expect it to happen, to a point, in the most strategic spots......but the marked 'class' division here is one the most stark in the City.
Example (Ridelle)
I think Viewmount on the east side is a bit riper, but there will likely be pressure to add to Viewmount Park on the southside, which I would support, its a logical park to build-out; which means the north side of Viewmount becomes the interesting opportunity (park--view units)
Viewmount (east of Allen)
Right side, probable park expansion, left side, probable assembly material.

I expect we will start seeing it sooner rather than later tbh, the north side of Viewmount could work perfectly for taller element with on-site parkland to expand the frontage of Viewmount Park. Particularly if someone goes for 225-231 and can expand the connection on the west side, or assemble the block, go for two towers, lobby to close/woonerf Shermount and add it to an overall centrally expanded connection.
There is no doubt you would likely have a big fight on your hands though and it is certainly not low hanging fruit, but ultimately I think you could get there with a well designed proposal.

Even holdouts aren't immune to becoming townhouse blocks!
