My comments about Mississauga being scare of height and density were demonstrated at tonight meeting for Phases II and III.
Pinnacle has cut 1,479 units from this development by increasing the number of townhouses by 26, decrease the number of towers as well, no building will be taller than 39 story. Most building will range in height of 15-25 story now.
Parking to be 1.25 per unit and all underground. Some city staff wants to see some on street parking. A number of residents wanted surface parking lots.
Density drop to 1.2 for the area.
The towers will line up with the ones to the south.
I asked the president of Pinnacle why were developers afraid of going taller than 40 story in Mississauga and why the cut back? Never really got a clear answers from him, but it sound like Hazel said it going to be like this if you want to build in my city outside the city core. One of his staff asked me what height and density I wanted to see? I said anything over 50 to 70 with density being 5-10 along transit corridors.
A few residents were afraid this area was going to become a town. Given the area is on 2 transit corridor, yes this area will become a small town over the next 20 years.
The time line will see Phase II (Townhouse) go on sale in fall 2012 and completed by 2014. Towers will be built at a rate of one every 2 years and that is longer than the current 7 years for the whole complex.
Sales office is to open late November or early December.
