Slate files development applications for two Mississauga TOCs
Slate Asset Management has filed development applications for two transit-oriented mixed-use development sites in Mississauga.
The company announced the news earlier this month. Its proposals call for work on the properties located at 2077, 2087, 2097 and 2105 Royal Windsor Drive – dubbed the Clarkson GO Site – and at 1250 South Service Road – the Dixie Site.
The proposals call for two complete, highly-accessible mixed-use communities featuring a range of housing forms, improved public and pedestrian spaces, and new public and private amenities.
“We are very pleased to be putting forward these proposals to create two vibrant, transit-oriented mixed-use communities within Mississauga,” said Brandon Donnelly, Slate’s Managing Director of Development. “Our objective is to unlock the inherent potential of these two sites in a way that will benefit the city and surrounding areas for years to come, adding much needed homes, exciting retail and commercial uses, enhanced walkability, and new amenities and green spaces throughout.”
The Dixie Site is located along the northwest boundaries of Dixie Outlet Mall. Road systems and public transit routes are accessible nearby.
Slate has submitted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to the City of Mississauga to redevelop 7.1-acres of the broader 35-plus-acre site, currently home to the Dixie Outlet Mall.
The site plan includes three mixed-use buildings that will provide over 1,200 new residential homes, retail and recreational opportunities, as well as 3.5-acres of park space and publicly accessible lands.
Slate also plans to add new pedestrian connections and multi-modal trails within the site and add to existing trails and parks in the area, encouraging walkability and accessibility to the existing transit terminal located south of Queen Elizabeth Way and west of Dixie Road.
The Clarkson GO Site, meanwhile, is approximately 3.7 acres and is currently occupied by four one-storey commercial buildings.
Slate has submitted an application for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment that aims to achieve a mixed-use, transit supportive redevelopment, creating a strategic use of land in an evolving area of the city.
The preliminary development concept proposes a mixed-use development of four residential buildings comprising over 1,200 new residential homes and introduces new retail and live-work uses situated at grade.
Slate also plans to create a pedestrian-focused central spine within the site that will greatly improve walkability and enhance safe and continuous access to the adjacent Clarkson GO station to encourage the use of public transit.
Development applications were submitted for both sites in December 2022.
