thanks for the update drum118 ~

while it is probably too early to judge the building while it is still under construction, the first feeling I get looking at your first photo is "public housing" ... plain brick rectangular shaped tower with small windows evenly spaced apart ... not a feeling I would want if I were to take ownership in this condo ~ but let's see how the finished product will turn out ...

I do like these wide shallow suite designs though, just like Monarch's VIBE+ZIP in Liberty Village

It looks okay to me, nothing special, except it will hopefully anchor the east end of Downtown, expecially as it looks like Brampton is improving streetscaping along with the Queen Street construction mess as it readies for the BRT-lite service (Züm) coming this time next year.

After a six year pause, Phase II might finally go ahead: (See item 4.5 - 1)

http://www.brampton.ca/EN/City-Hall/meetings-agendas/PDD Committee 2010/20170403pdc_Agenda.pdf

A 31-storey tower, including a 3 storey podium (connected to Phase I), with 272 dwelling units, 498 m2 (5,360 ft2 ) of ground floor commercial space.

The proposal calls for a point tower, rather than the Phase 1 slab.

there seems to be an increasing amount of activity along Queen Street, I wonder if condos are finally coming to Brampton in a meaningful way? It would be good to see meaningful intensification occur.

I would wager that this is

a) going ahead soon
b) but not as a condo.

will most likely come out of the ground as purpose built rental.

So the answer to your question is no and yes....no condos are not coming to Brampton in a meaningful way but yes meaningful intensification can occur.

More information from Brampton's Planning and Development Committee. Staff are recommending approval, noting the improvement over the original slab configuration found in the original Phase I. The increased height requires a zoning bylaw change. It is proposed as a rental, rather than a condominium, tower.

Architect is G+C.

103m, 31 storeys. I believe that would make this the tallest building in Brampton.

And maybe one of the ugliest

It looked like soil testing was going on yesterday:

I think you can expect to see tower 2 commencing in the fall......purpose built rental rules the day in Brampton!
