Three Highrise Towers with Over 1,000 Units and Retail Space Planned for Brampton’s West Side

Brampton’s west side is set to undergo significant development with the construction of three new highrise towers, potentially providing over 1,000 new residential units and retail shopping options. Primont, in collaboration with Core Architects, has filed development applications for this ambitious project on a mostly vacant lot at the intersection of Mississauga Rd. and Sandalwood Pkwy.

The proposal entails the construction of three mixed-use towers, standing 12, 27, and 20 storeys tall respectively, along with a shared six-storey podium building that will house retail spaces on the ground floor. The development plans also include ample parking space with over 1,200 stalls. The project aims to offer a diverse range of units, ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments, accommodating various housing needs.

If approved, the development will be carried out in two phases. The initial phase involves constructing the 12-storey “Building B” tower and the associated underground parking. In the subsequent phase, Building A1, spanning 30 storeys, and Building A2, standing at 27 storeys, will be built.

The development’s features and amenities will be impressive, catering to the needs of residents. These include outdoor terraces, swimming pools, access to a gym and fitness center, a party room, a screening room with lounges, a splash pad, and a playground.

To meet the housing targets set by the province, the city of Brampton is striving to expedite its development application process. However, challenges related to “servicing constraints” within the Region of Peel have caused some delays in approvals. The province has mandated municipalities across Ontario, including Mississauga, Brampton, and Caledon, to meet aggressive housing targets. This requirement will necessitate the construction of an additional 145,000 homes in the region by 2031, with an estimated cost exceeding $20 billion.

Moreover, in light of the recent announcement by the province regarding the dissolution of the Region of Peel, the city of Brampton is urging the newly appointed Peel Transition Board to ensure that this change does not impede Brampton’s growth or impose additional financial burdens on its residents. The city seeks to safeguard its ongoing development initiatives despite the restructuring of administrative divisions.
