This proposal, still in the pre-consultation stage, is for a 40-storey point tower with a 6-storey podium, with some commercial spaces. Total GFA roughly +/- 450,000 square feet.
The project is partially located on the historical Etobicoke Creek floodplain at the bottom of the hill at George and Main Streets. The upper area, at 28 Elizabeth Street, includes the historic Haggartlea mansion, built for one of Brampton's first industrialists (John Haggart), circa1870 and is a designated heritage property. A historical postcard shows the house at its prime:
The house has since been converted into apartments.
Though there isn't anything yet public, as this goes through the early planning process, I have been told that the architectural concept includes preserving the house partially within a glass atrium in a manner similar to Sweeny's Queen Richmond Centre.
If this is the case, this would finally bring some top notch architecture to Downtown Brampton.
