Lakeview Village Development in Mississauga
Construction of Lakeview Village is expected to begin in 2020.
Ontario Power Generation had sold their Lakeview property for $275 million to Lakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL) in March 2018. 27 hectares of waterfront land was set for remediation and transferred to the City of Mississauga thereby creating a green oasis in the heart of the city. LCPL, the province and the City of Mississauga plan to transform the former Lakeview Generating Station at Lakeview Mississauga “The Four Sisters” into a vibrant Lakeview Village that will include recreational, residential and retail properties. According to Bloomberg, the site could be worth about $6 billion.
The 71.6-hectare Lakeview Village will include 5,000 to 7,000 new homes including townhomes, mid-rise and high-rise condominium buildings, in addition to a 26-hectare conservation area. There will be more than 600,000 sq ft of employment and institutional use and another 200,000 sq ft of cultural space.
This is significant as there is hardly any land left for builder new condo development in Mississauga, let alone provide room for a more destination-type neighbourhood.
