Immediately to the north of Morguard's proposal at Bramalea City Centre, the owners of the retirement home, in a former Holiday Inn, are looking to demolish the seven-story building and replace it with three towers, with one of the three buildings containing replacement retirement and nursing units. In pre-consultation, and only massing drawings are available right now.

The Zoning application just submitted (no public docs yet) proposes a significant change. The retirement building drops to 20 storeys, and the two general residential towers grow to 55 and 50 storeys.

The site area is 1.25 Ha (3.2 acres) and the proposed project FSI is 8.0, 1006 parking spaces are proposed and 870 bicycle spaces (long term and short term).
 
Great! So much gets proposed in Brampton but most hasn’t been built!
 
Yeah, there’s a flood of interesting developments these days, but so many of them just stall out. RioCan’s recent decision to go slow on its residential developments is especially disappointing because I was really looking forward to the Shoppers World redevelopment.
 
Well, let's hope that since the Peel Region split is cancelled, we can get the Queen St Water main/Sewer capacity upgraded which has been delaying many of these developments.
 
Are there any parks planned for the immediate area? Where are people supposed to walk their dogs--or their grandparents?

Though I agree that there should be a public space/park on the BCC lands if Morguard gets the go-ahead to develop the old Sears store, there are neighbourhood parks immediately across Queen Street, and there’s a walkway under it connecting to Hanover and Howden. Chinguacousy Park – the city’s signature park – is close by too.
