In this week's UTPro Instant Report, we turn our focus to the area within an 800m range of 31 Dundas Street West in Mississauga. This area is witnessing growing development activity, thanks in part to its proximity to the future Hurontario LRT and existing transit options like the Cooksville GO station, enhancing connectivity with the Greater Toronto Area. All of the noted developments are within walking distance of the upcoming Dundas LRT stop.

The one recently completed project, The Huron, is a mid-rise rental building that was built as infill on underused land at a Tower-in-the-Park site. Located at 2475 Hurontario Street between Dundas Street East and Queensway East, the development was completed in 2020 by Starlight Investments and offers six storeys of market-rate rental units.
