Mississauga 3420 Hurontario | 106m | 33s | BET Realty | Kirkor Architects

Saw my Dr on Tuesday that was booked before I went away and found out they are moving at the end of the month.

This building started out being a few houses for office and the group sold the land for part ownership in a new 3 storey building to replace these homes and allow for another building to the north of it.

The city over the years have shot down various plans for the vacate land.

The Dr group sold their share to a new owner years ago who ended up to selling the building and land to someone else.

The current owner has fail to keep the building up to date and the building is under power of sale now.

Based on these issues and the lease was up for renewal, they decided to move. Some have been on site for 30 years.

There is talk that the building will be torn down and this would allow for a tall condo to go up on on this site. The building is on the south-west corner of Central Parkway and a good location for more density development consider the plan LRT is to have a stop here.

I hope if a new condo does go up here that the first few floors be commercial and be used as what there now, medical offices as it is needed in this area.

I don't mind the grid pattern design, but why can't it have consistent spacing?

8 years later, something going to happen there after all these fail attempts in the past to it. Saw core drilling last fall for the corner where council shot down a retirement building that was way smaller than this one.

Depending on how you read the sign, it will be a 35 and 40 story tower and see no issues for that height there.

The grid looks bad. Looks like white, grey and red will be used for colours and most likely be precast.

Now to get rid of the other 2 apartments building there and replace them with taller towers. Both sites will house 2 towers in place of the current one.

If they going to put this here, can't see why Walley's across the street that was shot down and being appeal be built there as a single tower at 40s.

Some will object, but the land study for the corridor that was done before the LRT EA started call for 6-10s building at street edge on the east side between Central Parkway and Burnhamthrope. I have no issues with that even with trees being removed for it.

I agree. 30 to 40 floors shouldnt be an issue here, there's a ton of land around that can redeveloped in time...developing this lot will help this area looks a little less....dingy? Or rather, ignored I guess. It's unfortunate the proposal on Wally's was shot down, hopefully something comes out of that.

Designed by Kirkor for Bet Realty.

Building A is 116.05m and Building B is 98.35m, both to the top of the mechanical penthouse. The project is split into two phases with the taller tower being phase 1 and the shorter tower being phase 2.

Yikes.

More to the point, the building is pretty bad. Not a fan of how it meets the street--tower in the park. Not very walkable.

Why in Mississauga are so many of these developments far from the street? Especially along Hurontario and Burnhamthorpe?

Because along most stretches of these streets, they are not true streets but 6 lane roads with a median and turning lanes. Think of Hiway 7 in York region.

Because the street ROW ends there, not where the street is in the first place.

There is a report I saw dated early 1980's saying Hurontario would be converted from 4 lanes north of the QEW to 7 lanes with provision to go to 9 lanes and having all new development along it to be set back to deal with the 9 lane highway. It's a bitch to try crossing it with traffic light favouring north-south traffic even though there is no traffic on it.

Burnhamthorpe was to deal with the RT from Kipling that the government was pushing at no cost to Mississauga. In the end, Mississauga said no to the RT that was to be free to them even through land was set as side for the RT..

When we did the land review for Hurontario before the EA of the LRT, 2 recommendations were made to deal with the extra ROW land. One option call for shifting the road to one side to merge the 2 extra ROW land together to allow larger development in front of existing buildings. The other option was to build 6-10 story thin buildings in front of building where it could be done.

I have no use for buildings in the park nor set back from the street edge.

The other thing the city is doing is pushing green space to reduce the amount of run off into the storm water system.

This project needs to be brought to the street edge. As for 2 phases with the north tower being built first, is the need to retain the existing medical building and move them into the lower level of the new tower and expand the need for more space in the 2nd phase.

As long as the city refuse to reduce parking requirements for all new development, the city will keep the cars not only the king of the road, but how the city is built with cars being number 1 and pedestrians number 3.

This development will make its first appearance before council at April 19 Planning and Development committee. It will be interesting to hear their comments on this site since there an LRT station at the intersection and their rejection of the 40s across the street from this one.

Support having offices on the lower levels.

There is a lot of open space for schools as some have a few 100's empty space from K-12.

Feels like the answer would be to hug the (generous) sidewalk up against the building, put in off-street cycle paths in the buffer between the road and the sidewalk, and have more landscaping/trees between pedestrians and the road. Maybe some opportunities for small retail backing onto the street (very small like cafes, etc.). I just can't see it being all that appealing next to such high volumes of high speed traffic.

This was done on April 19
