Greenwin has been assembling more land in Downtown Brampton for high-rise residential development. 33 George Street North is the Haggartlea proposal, well advanced in the planning stage. Greenwin has also been assembling older houses to the west, adjacent to the former OBRY lands, and south of the 45 Railroad development, which is nearly complete.

This is the thread for Assembly A (the Park-Nelson Assembly). Just a massing exercise for now, for an all-apartment building with 506 units, a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom units.

Though images are marked "confidential" I was able to access them through the public planning site.

It appears this site will be a residence for Algoma’s Brampton Campus. https://algomau.ca/news/algoma-university-to-build-500-plus-bed-student-residence-in-brampton/

The Algoma residence, now 13 storeys, is proposed for Site B, at 41 Mill Street North, immediately to the south of 45 Railroad.

Site A, at Nelson St W and Park St, will likely be a separate proposal.

The demolition permits were issued earlier in the summer and most of the buildings on the site are now gone. There’s also some utility work on Mill Street North, likely in preparation of this project and of the Railroad Street project on the east side of Mill.

It's interesting that Algoma is going ahead with this. They are seriously under-enrolled with the loss of international undergrads (which would have been a big motivator for building accommodation) and burning through the reserves that they had built up. Lots of lay-offs coming....

This would also be the first purpose-built facility for Algoma too, which occupies several office and commercial buildings in the downtown area. Who knows; I don’t see who else would want a student residence even though there’s a huge demand for postsecondary education from students who live in Brampton and area.
