The only thing that remains open at this time, is the day care building and it is suppose to remain open until the west tower is built that will house the new day care Centre. That tower is supposed to built first at 35s with a park there.
Another bunch of condos in the park and a miss opportunity to have nice street edge on Elm. Unless changes have taken place to increase the hight of the tall build at Hurontario St, 50s is what to go there that was approved by council last year. The site was reduce to 3 towers when it went to Planning & development committee last year.
I wonder what changes have taken place regarding another tower south and beside the Hurontario since the owner of that site refused to sale the land to Solmar and drew up some unknown height tower quick site plan on the day of hearing the proposal for this site.
That design is different to the ones approved as well at the community meetings.
This is one of 2 developments a block apart that will add density to support the LRT. Another 50s & 47s tower is going to go up a block north.
It took the Absolute Towers to break the 39s ceiling in the city and waiting for the 60s plus to break the only 50s ceiling now.
The Park and Chicago are not nice looking buildings

Holy crud, if these are really built, in their current design, I'll be simply amazed. I have been less than impressed with some of the towers that went up, like Chicago, first 3 towers of Parkside masterplan etc, although, these 3 towers look incredible. Great contrast with the site at the moment, and will definitely add some significance to the skyline.

I'm not a big fan of the Chicago building itself but I do like the base and the townhouses. At first, I wasn't a fan of One Park Tower but I actually like it now

If the rendering is accurate the floor count is at least 60, 50, 40s plus mechanical so they may have been granted a height increase in exchange for a section 37 like "donation".

Since the site will only hold 3 towers in place of 4 and the possiblity of agreement with the south land owner, the buildings were allow to increase in height like you stated.
If the Hurontario tower goes to 60s, it will finally backup council claim the sky is the limited for height and stop the fear going higher than 40/50s.
I know under section 37, the city is getting a park at the west end and the day care centre.

Not a fan of the 3 towers looking the same, or the weak podiums. I'll take 1 of the taller and two redesigned shorter ones please!

She has a point but it's a judgement call. Some developers may pay the extra fees but maybe not.
Mississauga’s condo boom leaves little space for tax-generating office towers in the core..

“And the lack of height restrictions, there’s no way to unring that bell, eh?” Parrish asked Ed Sajecki, the City’s commissioner of planning and building.
Parrish was referencing a previous council decision that eliminated height and density restrictions and pre-zoned many properties to encourage quick development.
“I think that’s the second biggest mistake – ever,” she went on.
Crombie noted that if height restrictions were in place, the City could have made a fortune from developers who would be willing to pay for additional density through section 37 benefits.

I love skyscrapers with setbacks. We need more towers with setbacks, regardless of whether they're modern or postmodern in style. Setbacks give towers a more interesting profile and a more impressive presence in the skyline.

They has started demolition of the site. Everything west of the Day Care Centre will be remove. The Day Care will be remove once a new one opens in the first tower.

Mississauga council approves three more high-rise condos along Hurontario’s LRT corridor
Mississauga News - July 7th, 2016 - http://www.mississauga.com/news-sto...-rise-condos-along-hurontario-s-lrt-corridor/
Love the reference to the Hurontario LRT, and had a good laugh at this line in the article:
Lisa Roy, a resident who lives in the immediate area, said she moved to Mississauga from Toronto because she “thought this was a great city.”
"I didn’t buy my condo to look at another condo and be boxed in and that’s all I’m going to see,” she stated during the planning meeting.
