Would Mormons approve intensification in front of their church?

The Sonic and Supersonic condos development wraps around the church, it’s just not pictured in that image.

Could look towards marketing this as The Residences of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

May be confused with Minto's The Saint.

Good to see this inching forward.
That area is such a disaster in its current form.
Don Mills and Eglinton are both too wide.
Development, wide sidewalks, trees/streetscapes will be an enormous help.
But I do hope they narrow these corridors over time.

Somethings not adding up here, perhaps they meant 25 stories (86M) instead of 52 and 28 stories (104M)?

I'll be interested to see how they fit all this in with the Ontario Line.

New renderings are updated in the database! The building story count changed from 34, 28 and 22-storeys to now 48 and 26-storeys. The total building height changed from 109.42m, 94.48m, 73.45m to now 154.0m & 89.0m. Finally, the overall unit counts reduced from 969 units to now 804 units.
The renderings are taken from the architectural plan via Rezoning Submissions:

It's somewhat ironic that the coming of another transit line has resulted in a decrease in the number of residential units planned here. I wish the City and Province (through Metrolinx) were adventurous enough to incorporate the Ontario Line guideway into the construction here (then there could still have been three towers), but apparently we are just playing at TOD and definitely not as serious about it nor as advanced as other jurisdictions around the world in this regard. Hopefully that strip on the north side of Eglinton between the road and the bus terminal becomes more TOD though (and really, the bus terminal should have been designed to be built over; what amateurs we are).

^Agree with every point @interchange42 made. Often times the claim is made that Toronto is running out/doesnt have a lot of developable land, but then we get cases like this where we waste prime real estate on bus/train terminals. This is at the intersection of 2 major rapid transit lines, there should be even more density here.
On the one hand we finally bury Eglinton Bus Terminal underground, then we go right on ahead and replicate the same early 21st century bus terminal style when building new transit. This city/province will never cease to amaze with the planning screwups both parties respectively initiate.

Where are you getting these? Can't find them in the portal. Something weird happening with this being linked with 770 Don Mills.
These are linked to the 805 Don Mills page:
