A sizeable redevelopment is on the horizon for northwest Mississauga as Dezen Realty has submitted a proposal for the redevelopment of the Streetsville Centre Plaza. It would see the existing commercial plazas demolished, paving the way for increased height and density with a multi-phased plan designed by srm Architects, featuring residential, commercial, and public spaces, with the nearby Streetsville GO station connecting the site to the Greater Toronto Area.
The site, spanning approximately 4.2 hectares, comprises several parcels of land, located at 120, 128, 142-148, 154, and 158 Queen Street South, along with 169 Crumbie Street. It features one and two-storey commercial plazas with small-scale retail outlets, commercial schools, childcare services, and restaurants. It also includes Cuchulainn’s Irish Pub at the southeast corner, a building of heritage interest whose first building permit was issued in 1950, before the formation of the City of Mississauga. The Heritage Impact Assessment prepared by ASI Archaeological and Culture Heritage Services recommends a conservation plan to preserve its heritage attributes.
There have been multiple proposals for redevelopment of the site, with partial site clearance as far back as Summer, 2018. A more recent proposal in 2023 expanded the scope to seven towers reaching 18 storeys, receiving pushback from local residents, leading to this new and slightly scaled-back plan.
Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment applications have been submitted for the first of four phases for the site, entailing two 13-storey buildings. An Official Plan Amendment has been submitted for the entire master-planned development, incorporating five buildings, public road linkages, a park, and a POPS (Privately-Owned Publicly-accessible Space).
Buildings would vary from 2 to 15 storeys, heights would start at 37.1m, with the three tallest towers reaching 60.6m. The master plan would deliver 1,808 new residential units, with 92,749m² of residential Gross Floor Area (GFA), and a mix of office and retail spaces totalling 3,621m².
Phase One entails two mixed-use towers with heights of 55.5m fronting Queen Street South. They would feature multi-level podiums that provide a gradual transition in height, with a GFA of 32,643m², including 2,913m² of commercial and 329m² of office area. There would be 1,152m² of indoor and 979m² of outdoor amenities.
With 283 units in Building 1A and 243 in Building 1B, as well as three elevators per tower, there would be approximately one elevator for every 94 and 81 units respectively, indicating brief waits.
Phase 1 is set to have four levels of underground garage with 524 motor vehicle parking spaces, complementing 14 on-street parking spots, while 394 spaces would be provided for bicycles.
In future phases, a new public park, adjacent to the existing library at the northern end of the site, would span 1,031m². The POPS planned for Phase 2 would feature a market square, situated near the pub, occupying 2,148m² of area.
Approximately 360m north of the Streetsville GO station, the site is located within a Major Transit Station Area where the provincial government has mandated higher densities. Closer to the site, MiWay buses ply Queen Street, connecting to Meadowvale Town Centre to the north and the University of Toronto Mississauga campus to the south.
To the south, the neighbourhood features lower-density housing, including current and recent projects like the 3-storey 66 Thomas Street and Tannery Townhomes, the under-construction 4-storey Streetsville Centre and VIC Condominiums, while The Pearl is proposed at 11-storeys. To the east, the 3-storey Ravines on Main townhouses are under construction. Northward near Britannia Road West, the development scale intensifies with the 8-storey Queen + Britannia and dual 9-storey towers of Reine.
