New proposal will be coming here.
The intent will be add residential, retain the film studios (perpetually operating).

From the above, and looking at the site layout, I would anticipate previously proposed office components going residential and/or mixed use (with residential).
References to the subway stations and densification suggest a large ask here.

Kevric plans big Toronto redevelopment, as founder hands over reins
Kevric Real Estate hopes to build a close-to-700,000-square-foot residential and mixed-use development in the Studio District east of downtown Toronto. The Montreal firm is also undergoing a transition, as founder Richard Hylands takes a reduced role.

Seems highly optimistic, it's not actually thatttt close to East Harbour or Riverside-Leslieville

I beg to differ - It's very close to Riverside and Leslieville.

I'm talking about the future Ontario line station, not the neighbourhoods themself

Still very close, compared to several other under-serviced areas in the GTA... hence the plans for all that dense mid-rise. The Ontario Line is a huge draw and let's face it - car traffic is never going to do anything but get more congested.

Community meeting on call to change land use from employment to mixed-use residential on Heward Avenue slated
A community consultation meeting regarding a proposed land use change in the Eastern and Carlaw avenues area is planned for next Tuesday.
The land at 65-87 Heward Ave., south of Eastern Avenue, north of Lake Shore Boulevard East and just east of Carlaw Avenue, is presently zoned as Core Employment and an application has been received by the city to change that to Mixed Use.
If approved, there is a proposal submitted by Bousfeilds Inc. on behalf of Heward Studio Investments Inc. to the City of Toronto in October of 2025 for development in the area that would include existing and some new film studio space along with residential buildings of 18, 28 and 12 storeys.
The building at 65 Heward Ave. was designated as a heritage property in April of 2025, and the site’s land currently houses Six5 Studios — a film company that rents the building’s office and open spaces for filming. The Heward Avenue site, which served as the former home of the Canadian Ammonia Company Ltd., was registered by the City of Toronto as a building of cultural heritage value under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The community consultation meeting to discuss the proposed land use change will be held on Tuesday, March 31, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Toronto Fire and EMS Training Centre at 895 Eastern Ave.
During the March 31 consultation meeting, area residents will have the opportunity to view information, provide comments and questions, and speak with the project team.
