Wow! Lots of density planned for this area in the next few years. This is terrific!

 

[paperguy]

exactly there is a development right beside this, and connecting cooksville across the street, this area will truly become amazing in the coming years

Let’s hope Sauga NIMBYs don’t kill this project too…

What projects have NIMBYs killed in Mississauga?

This picture makes me laugh. Could they not get the dental office next door to sell? How will that space ever be redeveloped on its own after the fact?

The owner is probably holding out for more money. If they don’t get what they want they will complain to the city that if the development goes ahead their parcel of land can’t be developed on its own and the city will force a compromise.

Can the City do that? I agree that it would have made sense for this parcel to have been included in the development, but how does the redevelopment of a neighbouring property prevent the owner of the dental clinic from doing anything on their own property?

I am not that knowledgeable about civic/municipal matters but that is what I heard happened with the small property just south of the Edge Towers development on Hurontario & Elm. It was an income tax preparation business or something like that and apparently the owner refused to sell with the original properties on the site. @drum118 probably knows the details.

How is this any different than what happened here?

You are correct

When the Edge Tower plan went before Planning and Development, the owner of the tax place was crying over the access to Hurontario and wanted a road built south of the Edge Towers to service the 3 towers and the one he wanted to build on a scrap pad (Tory Smart Track). There wasn't enough room to have 2 towers side by side and maintain the 25m clear view. Never saw the plan or the owner again. When the sales office went for the Edge, it was using the tax office site and indicated that the owner was leasing the land for the sales office or he sold it to Edge. Some time later, an new site application sign when up for the 3rd tower that included the 16 story tower on Hurontario for both sites to say it was one development by Edge or a joint venture for the 16 story tower only, but the right call.

As for this site, it's one of hundreds where an owner has refused to sell to the point they get box in. Only have to see this at Port Credit GO Station for Westport Condo or at Citylight on Broadway. Neither of those site will see anything replace what there now other a new home or a park, The owner may not want to sell now, but they will soon to face the fact they either sell sooner than later or be stuck with what they have now or hope the city buy it for a park.

This shows there is a case where the city must step in to do away with eyesores if the stay as a stand alone than creating something better hopeful.
