In Oakville, a proposal dubbed Neyagawa Crossings would introduce five 18-storey residential towers to the planned Neyagawa Urban Core area in Northern Oakville. Designed by Kirkor Architects and Planners for Sky Property Group, the project would also deliver ground-floor retail space to the nascent Glenorchy neighbourhood just south of an interchange along Highway 407.
The site is located within the North Oakville East Secondary Plan area, at the northeast corner of Neyagawa Boulevard and a new arterial road named William Halton Parkway that takes over some of the Burnhamthorpe Road alignment. Encompassing roughly 1.77ha of land, the site is currently vacant and consists of undeveloped, former farmland with an existing access point from William Halton Parkway. Highway 407 (and the planned 407 Transitway corridor) lie immediately to the north, while newly established and growing low-rise residential neighbourhoods extend to the south.
The Neyagawa Urban Core is a planned growth area identified through Oakville and Halton Region policy. Recent Official Plan amendments established a framework for intensification at the Neyagawa Boulevard and William Halton Parkway intersection.
The proposal would redevelop the site with five high-rise residential towers organized across two blocks, with three buildings in Block 1 and two in Block 2. All five towers would rise 18 storeys, supported by three-storey street-walls and six-storey podiums. Three towers would reach a maximum height of 68.05m, while the remaining two would step slightly lower to 66.45m.
In total, the development would deliver 898 residential units with a residential Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 81,385m². An additional 2,397m² of non-residential space would be provided at grade for retail uses, bringing the total proposed GFA to 83,783m² and a Floor Space Index of 4.74 times coverage of the site. Retail units would be oriented to the site’s primary frontages to support an active streetscape, while the interior of the site would accommodate landscaped open space. Approximately 5,825m² of landscaping is proposed at grade.
Outdoor amenity areas would account for about 2,225m², while indoor amenity facilities would comprise about 1,936m². Vertical circulation would be served by two elevators per tower, for a total of ten elevators across the development, resulting in an overall ratio of approximately one elevator for every 90 units, indicating reasonable service promptness during normal operating.
Vehicle parking would be accommodated primarily below grade within a three-level underground garage, providing a total of 973 vehicular spaces dedicated to residential use. Limited at-grade parking is proposed for visitors and retail patrons, located toward the rear and interior portions of the site. Bicycle parking would be provided at a total of 634 spaces.
Long-term planning envisions the Highway 407 Transitway as an interregional bus rapid transit corridor, with a potential terminal identified near the Neyagawa Boulevard and William Halton Parkway intersection. In the interim, the site is served by Oakville Transit Route 5/5A along Dundas Street West, providing east–west connections to Uptown Core and Bronte GO station. Active transportation infrastructure includes on-road cycling facilities along both Neyagawa Boulevard and William Halton Parkway, as well as a multi-use path running along Neyagawa Boulevard.
To the west, the Argo Neyagawa Lands proposal would introduce a mixed-use subdivision anchored by two 15-storey residential towers. Further east, construction is underway on Nava Towns & Mid-Rise, delivering three six-storey residential buildings alongside townhouses.
