With a new LRT under construction along Hurontario Street that's set to enhance its connectivity to the rest of the Greater Toronto Area, Brampton's Fletcher's Creek South neighbourhood is trending towards increased density and height. A standout proposal in this area between Highway 407 and Steeles Avenue is 200 County Court Boulevard, designed by superkül for Stanford Homes. Situated on the southern edge of Brampton's designated urban centre, the site is positioned adjacent to the future Ray Lawson stop on the Hurontario LRT.

The site currently houses a small-scale shopping plaza of single-storey buildings and its surface parking lot. In its place, Stanford Homes aims to transform this property into a vibrant mixed-use hub of five towers, spanning from 22 to 44 storeys, and encircling a central open space.

The Gross Floor Area (GFA) of the development is 135,780m², with a non-residential GFA of 2,520m². Three towers are standalone, each with 5-storey podiums, while two buildings spring from a shared 6-storey podium. A three level underground garage is set to accommodate 1,226 parking spaces, with 389 designated for visitors and 837 for residents. For cyclists, there will be 973 resident spots, 195 for visitors, and 6 for non-residential visitors.

The street edges of the site along Hurontario, County Court, and Havelock are to be enlivened by commercial spaces, which could be offices, retailers, or eating establishments. Welcoming residential lobbies will further activate these urban edges. The site's internal character however would be more calming in comparison, marked by townhouses and indoor amenities at the base of the buildings, and all facing the central landscape.

This space would be enriched with outdoor amenities for residents and two POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space) that foster engagement with the broader community. One POPS is set to connect the 34-storey and 38-storey buildings at the north end, while the second would serve as a central plaza. A total of 4,651m² indoor and 6,242m² outdoor amenity space is planned, including a rooftop amenity terrace between the towers that rise from the shared podium.

Additionally, a linear park representing about 10% of the site will enhance the southern edge of the site, offering a through-block connection and enhancing the pedestrian experience. Havelock Park, meanwhile, is just across the street to the northeast.

The exteriors of the five buildings are designed with common gestures like softened corners and earth-toned materials, including brick and precast concrete. Even metal accents share the palette, all of it organized in a gradient of warm tones from east to west. The design also features uniquely articulated balconies, some inset and others projecting.

In total, the development will boast 1,946 residential units. The 22-storey building would house 250 units served by 3 elevators, resulting in a ratio of approximately 83 units per elevator. The other buildings, each set to contain 4 elevators, house 273, 384, 460, and 465 units respectively, with ratios between 68 and 116 units per elevator.

Strategically located beside the coming LRT stop, the site is currently serviced by the Zum rapid bus service and regular buses, with Highway 407 located just 500m to the south. Two bus routes connect directly to the highway. The Hurontario LRT, which began construction in 2021 and is anticipated to be completed in 2024, will provide connections to Zum Transitway services, the Mississauga Transitway at Square One, the Milton GO line at Cooksville station, and the Lakeshore West GO line at Port Credit station.

The City of Brampton is currently processing numerous development applications for the Fletcher's Creek South neighbourhood. This development activity will further intensity the area in support of the new transit options.
