The Lobbyist Registry tells us the above assembly is in play.
The properties in play are on the north side of Eglinton, just a bit west of Avenue Road, in the well to do Eglinton Hill area.

Site Size ~18000ft2.
Comments:
Typically, a site like this, in an area like this would be targeted for a midrise. It may well be here as well.
However, there are some interesting aspects to this site which may suggest a tower form here.
1) The site is quite large.
2) The site is on the north side of the street, so shadowing issues are negligible on Eglinton itself.
3) The site has the benefit of bordering a Green P lot as its rear. This lot would take the bulk of any shadow, and so much less potential to adversely effect on a park, yard or private property.
Likewise, this lot acts as a buffer space between the site and the SFH areas to the north.
4) MTSA may well factor given the close proximity of a Crosstown Station.
5) The main knock on any serious height here is lack of immediate area precedent:
