Hobin was very up front that another developer, not Urbandale, owned the lots south of 99Parkdale and he was showing what it would look like if they were approved for the same scale of building that he had drawn for Urbandale at 99. It was never a proposal for twin towers, just an illustration of what it would look like using the same silhouette for simplicity's sake. I'd been hearing rumours that whoever owned Parkdale at Burnside was going to "shock" us with extra height, and was fully expecting whoever it was to try and one up Claridge's Icon proposal, but now that we know it's Tega, it's shocking at any height (to borrow a line from Nader)
Here's the announcement (warning?) to neighbours from the City:
