Weird, I thought I had made a thread about this one already. Inmino Developments.

Inevitable intensification considering the amount of growth surrounding this site in NYCC. Looks like this would be Inmino's first substantial highrise project in Toronto. Their current portfolio mainly consists of townhomes and custom homes.

Listed properties are 5203 & 5215 Yonge St & 11 Parkview Ave
- According to Interactive Map: 5203 & 5205 Yonge is one lot & so is 5215 Yonge St - but properties in between (5211 & 5213 Yonge) are not included in list of properties
- 11 Parkview Ave is probably the last remaining house property within North York Centre Secondary Plan (Yonge corridor between Beecroft to Doris from 401 to Drewry/Cummer) north of Sheppard - there's a few south of Sheppard that remain unspoken for.
As per aerial map - between Yonge frontage properties and 11 Parkview Ave (red roof house) is City laneway along with row of City owned Green P parking. Thus, City have upper hand here - developer will have to negotiate within terms of North York Centre Secondary Plan (ie: 100m maximum height limit good for 30-storey and maximum of 4.5FSI density). I doubt developer will go beyond what's allowable hoping to win at OMB/LPAT - since developer will need City property namely the laneway and part (or all?) of Green-P parking lot.
Also of note, this is a rare land assembly. Yonge frontage retail lots are small and expensive - very difficult and expensive to assemble decent size need for condo tower. This is the first such Yonge frontage retail land assembly I recall in the last few decades within North York Centre. Question is, have Yonge frontage retail land prices, construction cost & condo prices gotten to the point where we'll see more such land assembly here in North York Centre? Pearl Place is small retail on northern part but otherwise large church/retail lot - all acquired relatively inexpensively 30+ years ago. Most of the Yonge frontage redevelopment tend to be from previously large lots like across Yonge Street (Menkes Gibson Square former large lot from 1980s for Imperial Oil HQ, Sorbara Beacon former large lots from plaza with deep parking & McDonalds with Parking, G-Group Ellie Condo former large lots from Speedy Muffler and Cuisine of India restaurant with parking lot plus a few smaller retail lots)

The proposes 105m vs 100m height limit doesn’t seem too much of an issue but the proposed 10.47FSI density vs 4.5FSI maximum density will be fun since they need City land (City laneway and Green P parking).
Note: 5300 Yonge got about 9FSI density via OMB/LPAT

Current issue for this is the sale of the laneway and adjacent property. City wants Inmino to acquire the lane and expand the proposal to where it's currently labeled as 'potential parkland'. FSI could be lowered that way.

Would you consider this style to be neo-art deco? Like not full fledged art deco but still inspired by material choices?
