The existing 1960s-era plaza at 700 Balmoral Drive at Eastbourne Drive in Bramalea is up for redevelopment as a mixed use retail and residential complex with five buildings (5, 10, 12, 18, and 20 storeys) with ground floor retail. Total of 982 residential units, with 4613 sq. m of commercial space - which should replace most of the existing plaza's GFA.

The area already has some medium-density residential on the east side of Eastbourne, so it's not really out of place. To the north is a city rec centre, and to the west, a Catholic elementary school.

There is currently a heavily used No frills grocery at this location. This is a key area in Bramalea which is well connected with parks, trails and very pedestrian friendly. Bramalea built several key plazas like this in the heart of neighborhoods surrounded by homes providing nearby essentials and reducing the need for vehicle trips. Let's hope a grocery store returns.

I remember when it was Loeb. I hope too that the phasing keeps a supermarket on site. What should not happen is a Stonegate Plaza scenario where the Valumart never ended up being replaced in the “Backyard Neighbourhood Condos” development.

Lots of heated discussion on Reddit over this

Here’s the city planning presentation. The No Frills will not be affected by Phase I construction, it will move to a new space in Phase I before construction begins on Phase II. https://pub-brampton.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=80216
