I like the streamlined look. Not sure how well that will survive revisions, developer economics and choice of materials though.

This was a Shell gas station on the northwest corner of Main and Church. I'm really surprised to see this.

This is encouraging. I think the "old main street downtown" areas in the GTA have been somewhat undervalued in recent years and can be redeveloped thoughtfully.

A nice building that belongs in downtown Toronto's waterfront! Love those curve walls with the gold and red orange looking precast brick columns etc!

Surprisingly un-Brampton-like! I mean that in a good way....

Public notice went up a few weeks ago, confirming some details.

 

[ShonTron]

363 residential units (most being one-bedroom units), 225 parking spaces and 255 m2 of retail space. Going to Planning & Development Committee on July 26.

Documents are up.

The new rendering below shows how it would look from Church Street W, from the GO Station parking lot. Hopefully this helps up the expectations, as the Dominion Skate Building redevelopment on Railroad Street is looking rather disappointing with the grey glass, spandrel, and mullions. (Maybe the balconies will improve things there, at least.)

Very impressed by the amount of developments near Downtown Brampton. Is this amount of condo development unprecedented in the city’s history?

Yes, even though some of the highrise projects being built or proposed – like 45 Railroad – are purpose-built rentals. Both Stella and Duo are under construction at Steeles and McMurchy, and there’s the MontVert buildings underway.

The last mini-boom of condo development in Downtown Brampton was nearly 20 years ago, when the buildings on George Street (Renaissance), Market Square, and Queen East (Park Place) were built.

Brampton has not been much of a condo development market, but things are changing.

Now that the development has zoning approval, it's going to the site plan approval process.

Accela Citizen Access

The floor plans are now available. Below are the ground floor, 4th floor (which has most resident amenities) and the 11th floor. There are two retail units at ground level.
