A surprisingly level of density in Brampton's northwest corner, at Sandalwood Parkway and Mississauga Road.

The first phase, an 8-storey building at Veterans Drive and Sandalwood is just nearing completion. Plenty of stacked townhouses behind.

A larger phase with just over 1000 units, including three towers (16, 26, and 28 storeys) is planned for the corner of Sandalwood and Mississauga. Awkwardly, a gas station sits between the two phases:

The completed first phase. I was surprised by the level of density at Sandalwood and Veterans Drive, with stacked townhouses lining the street, with traditional townhouses behind, and detached homes behind those. The two tower cranes in the background of the second photo are for a related condo project, MontVert, also by Primont and CORE. It is sold out according to hoardings around the Sandalwood/Mississauga Road site.

Quite a few places in Peel seeing density like that. I'm not sure I see the appeal of having a home on a busy road like that. It is never going to be a pleasant, leafy street.

Yeah. Milton and Stouffville have smaller-scale versions of the same things as well.

In defense this part of Brampton is being built with better cycling infrastructure than older new development sites in Brampton (note a sidewalk *and* a multiuse path on Sandalwood), and Veterans Drive, which has painted bike lanes and a transit route (the 26, which has the shiny new electric buses) leads right towards Mount Pleasant Square and the GO Station. There's a full-size Longo's within a five minute walk in one direction, and a big park in the other. The area has some decent amenities for being on the outskirts of suburbia.

Sure, but in this market you can't be picky.
