Saw this today, at the southeast corner of Steeles Avenue and Malta Avenue (the southern extension of McMurchy Avenue) in Brampton, between Shoppers World and Sheridan College on a long-fallow farm surrounded by other development.

It's nothing jaw-dropping, but it's one of several high-density projects in the Steeles/Main area, with the Shoppers World redevelopment as the centrepiece.

It looks as if work has started on the first phase, with a second building to follow.

This will go just to the west of another project early in development - Stella Southside Community.

Speaking of Stella, it appears there is a pre-consultation for Phase 3.

209 Steeles Avenue West
The proposal represents the final phase of a comprehensive three phase development which contemplates a 40-storey mixed use apartment condo building. The development is proposed to include 450 residential units with retail uses at grade, which will serviced by 406 parking spaces provided within a multi-level, automated underground parking garage.

40 storeys? This might just make this Brampton's tallest building.

Phase 3, the proposed 40-storey tower, is going to the Planning and Development committee on September 13.

It also looks like City of Brampton development applications require some sort of Tertiary conceptual block plan with document submissions. Purely conceptual, but shows how future development in this area may unfold:

What bothers me is how the UT Database does such a crappy job of covering Brampton projects. Immediately, some G+C snoozefest in Burlington gets added to the UT database and map, but not any of the projects I've been trying to keep on top of.

The first tower (Phase 2) is well into the excavation phase.

Phase 1 was the tightly packed townhouses on the other side of Malta Avenue.

Phase 3, the 40-storey tower, is proposed to be 125 metres (410 ft) tall.

It is quite clear in the planning document that Phase I, made up of 109 3-storey townhouse units to the south, was the first phase of the development. It completed construction in 2019.

The crane for the Phase 2 tower is up (the shorter tower to the south). Phase 3 is still going through the planning process.

Today - still excavating materials, and it looks like the pit will include the 40 storey Phase III tower.
