I've been busing past this site for a few weeks now. Right at the corner of Queen Street and Hanson Road South. The site has been dug up.
It's a public housing building, with a partnership between Kohn, Supporting Housing in Peel (SHiP), and Martinway Development, with funding from the Region of Peel. HERE
From the Kohn website:
Located at the corner of Queen Street East and Hansen Road, this mixed-use high rise building will act as a gateway to Brampton from the east. Designed in response to the program requirements of Peel Housing, the project consists of 205 rental supportive housing units, 12,000 sf of grade-related retail space and 21,000 sf of head office space for SHiP. Due to the restrictive nature of the site, common amenity areas are located on the 15th floor and provide access to shared landscaped rooftop terraces.
Facts:
15 stories
First floor ground retail
Second floor office
13 stories of rental units
Rents will be set at 80% average market rate
About half will be filled by those on waiting lists, the other half will be market rent.
