The cluster of the Macleod Monsters near Vic Park Station could be considered TOD in the area. Between Vetro, Sasso, Nuera x 2, Keynote x 3 towers (2 res, 1 office) there is probably ~1,000 - 1,500 units within a few hundred metres of the station, all built in the past 10 or so years.

...Of course, the station and the towers do little to even act like they are related to each other. Narrow sidewalks immediately near the station, dank spiral ramp over auto-heavy Macleod Trail. Missing the "Design" part of Transit Oriented Design.
