6 levels of underground *and* an above grade parking podium. Oh, Mississauga…

I have to think that is the developer, and not the city, pushing for that. Unless you think there should be a parking maximum.

Frankly, transit service to MCC is not good enough to go to much lower parking ratios for commercial space. It is beyond me why it isn't a bigger priority to bring Milton Line to MCC and make it frequent 2WAD. MCC can absolutely be more of an employment node, but transit needs to improve. An LRT line on Hurontario is not going to cut it.

Do you know if they are building EX1 and 2 at the same time?

They are currently building the two most westerly towers. If the renders are accurate that would be EX1 and the office tower.

Where do you see the above ground parking podium?

Iirc it’s in the plans, it hasn’t been built yet.

Mississauga still requires a 1-1 parking ratio downtown from what I remember. There are no height or density limits so development is basically limited only by how much parking you can provide.. which results in huge parking garages like this to allow for 72 storeys of condos.

It’s wrapped by active uses so it’s not obvious from the street. The middle of the block between the towers is filled with parking I believe with units and office space around the edges.

Thanks for the latest pics, looks like they are above grade. Do you know if it's just the first tower being built currently?

I think that the third is just starting construction after the third crane was installed within the last couple of weeks

Ok, they are trying to build them simultaneously

It's hard for me to get excited about such grubby stacked box designs. Wish the design was refined.
