Another development proposal south of Brampton GO station is adding to a trend of vertical growth and intensification for the area, and in this case, this proposal expands the area around Brampton's central core that developers have their sights set on. Dixie Holding Ltd has submitted plans for a 22-storey mixed-use condominium at 10 Henderson Avenue in the city’s Ridgehill neighbourhood south of Queen Street, west of Main. Designed by KIRKOR Architects and Planners, the high-rise would offer a mix of residential and retail spaces within a short walk of the four corners, and a 17-minute walk of the GO station.
Located at 10 Henderson Avenue, the site spans an area of approximately 3,700m². It is currently occupied by a two-storey multi-unit commercial building that, while of some historical interest, does not meet the criteria for designation under the Heritage Act. Salvaged brick is proposed, however, to be reincorporated into the new building's podium, accompanied by a commemorative plaque.
Located at the southeast corner of Royce and Henderson avenues, the site borders the former Orangeville Brampton Railway which was decommissioned in 2021. Surrounding the site otherwise is a mix of residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial uses. The Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment applications propose a 22-storey mixed-use building rising to 74.05m that would house 274 residential units. It would achieve a total Gross Floor Area (GFA) of 20,892m², including 2,057m² of commercial GFA. Its Floor Space Index would be 5.99.
The design includes three retail units on the ground floor designed to activate the street level, while the entire second floor would be dedicated to retail. The building would offer 412m² of indoor amenities located on the third floor, complemented by 725m² of outdoor amenities across the grade level as well as the third and fourth floors.
A two-level underground garage would provide 152 parking spaces, including 69 spaces designated for visitors. For cyclists, provisions include 154 stacked bike parking spaces along with 35 indoor and 28 outdoor spaces. Three would service the residences, providing approximately one elevator for every 91 units, which indicates reasonable wait times for future residents. Another two elevators would serve the parking garage and lobby plus retail levels.
The site is a 10-minute bus ride from the Brampton GO station, providing train service directly to Downtown Toronto and other major hubs. Local bus services travel north-south along McMurchy Avenue, as well as east-west along Queen Street. For cyclists, the nearby McMurchy Avenue features a signed bike route that extends south towards Steeles Avenue.
South of the site are proposals for 8- and 13-storey buildings at 30 McLaughlin Road South and 12 Henderson Avenue, respectively. To the north are proposals for 11-storey buildings including the Algoma University Student Residence and 115-123 Queen Street West. Northwest, there are applications for a 39-storey tower at 123 Railroad Street and the 42-storey Boutin Tower. Closer to the station, 55 Park Street is proposed at 30 storeys, 31-33 George Street North at 34 and 42 storeys, 23-29 Mill Street North at 48 storeys, and 118 Queen Street West at 50 storeys. The tallest proposal is found across from the GO station, where 35 Railroad Street calls for 55- and 58-storey towers.
