Construction of the mixed-use Brightwater community on Mississauga's Port Credit waterfront has been progressing since our last look at the site in July. Developed by Port Credit West Village Partners—a joint venture of Diamond Corp, Dream Unlimited, FRAM + Slokker, and the Kilmer Group—the project is replacing what used to be the Imperial Oil Lands to the southwest of Lakeshore Road West and Mississauga Road, with over 2,500 condominium units and over 400 townhomes, tied together by 18 acres of green space.
While the whole community is master-planned by Giannone Petricone Associates, currently under construction is Brightwater I, Brightwater II, and the community's retail commercial building which are all designed Diamond Schmitt Architects. Brightwater I and II are two condos that will form a gateway into the community along with the two-storey commercial building that will extend the Port Credit retail strip to the west.
Brightwater I, a boutique five-storey, mixed-use building with 76 suites that will front Lakeshore Road can be seen above where the blue and red crane is, while Brightwater II, a 14-storey mixed-use building with 235 suites, will rise where the shorter, white crane stands to the right. The retail and commercial building will soon begin to rise below the taller, white crane that stands to the left of the two Brightwater buildings.
Currently, the underground parking levels of Brightwater II have been completed and the forming work has reached grade, while the ground floor slab of Brightwater I is still to come. Work is not as advanced for the retail commercial building. Below, a plan shows where the first phases are in the north end of the community.
The whole of the site has been cleared are remediated, with a couple ponds that will gradually be drained and replaced with future phases. To the southwest of Brightwater II will be the next condo building, The Mason, designed by architects—Alliance, and the Brightwater Towns, designed by superkül. The Towns will act as a contextual buffer between Brightwater's taller buildings and the existing low-rise homes to the west. The towns will feature units ranging from 1,900 ft² to 2,600 ft².
The Brightwater development, that sits right on the edge of Lake Ontario, includes a vast 18 acres of green space that will include five parks.
