Ontario's housing market may be in the midst of a crash, but that hasn't stopped the provincial government from pressing forward with its plans to inject density into sites surrounding transit stations.A new Transit-Oriented Community (TOC)  — provincially-led projects that aim to promote transit use by leveraging underutilized land — has been tabled for a vast tract of surface parking lot at 4105 Kingston Rd., next to Guildwood GO station in Scarborough.The proposal would replace the commuter lot serving the regional rail station with a complex of six towers up to 60 storeys tall, introducing 2,534 new residential units to the currently underbuilt site.In line with the TOC model of integrating density with transit, the proposed complex would place its tallest towers closest to the GO station, with the tallest measuring in just shy of 193 metres. The heights are still quite significant in the local context, with the surrounding neighbourhood exclusively...
