13 Towers Up to 44 Storeys Proposed in Brampton Near Future GO Station

Plans have been submitted for a large-scale transit-oriented community in Brampton’s northwest, where Cortel Group, operating as MCN Heritage, is proposing a 13-building mixed-use development rising up to 44 storeys. Designed by Architecture Unfolded, the proposal is approximately 500m from the planned Heritage Heights GO Station on the Kitchener Line, within its Major Transit Station Area, immediately west of Mississauga Road and north of Bovaird Drive West.

The approximately 82,459m² site is located between Heritage Road and Mississauga Road north of Bovaird Drive West, with frontage along the future Pinnacle Parkway (Williams Parkway extension). Currently in agricultural use, the lands sit within a largely undeveloped pocket of northwest Brampton.

The current submission builds on a longer planning history tied to the site’s inclusion within the Mount Pleasant Secondary Plan framework. The developer has submitted Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment, and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications to the City of Brampton.

The masterplan organizes the site into a network of new public streets, open spaces, and development blocks. In total, 13 buildings are proposed, including 11 towers ranging from 26 to 44 storeys and two 8-storey mid-rise buildings along the southern edge. The tallest elements would be positioned toward the north and centre of the site, stepping down in height toward adjacent lower-density areas, with a fine-grained street network, including the extension of Coastal Drive and Pinnacle Parkway.

Across the site, the proposal would deliver 5,146 residential units within a Gross Floor Area of 374,705m², including 357,663m² dedicated to residential uses. The unit mix would be weighted toward one-bedroom layouts, with 3,599 units, alongside 1,289 two-bedroom units and 258 three-bedroom units. Non-residential uses call for 5,624m² of retail space and a 897m² daycare facility. The resulting Floor Space Index would be 6.23 times coverage of the site.

The plan is divided into four blocks built in four phases. To the north of the Coastal Drive extension, the first block would accommodate a cluster of tall residential towers, including four towers between 41 and 44 storeys arranged along the CN rail corridor. The second block is a central plaza framed by mid- to high-rise buildings ranging from 27 to 37 storeys, incorporating at-grade retail and a woonerf. The third block would introduce two 8-storey mixed-use buildings along the southern edge, paired with a landscaped buffer that transitions toward the lower-scale neighbourhood to the south. The fourth block would preserve approximately 15,734m² of Natural Heritage System lands along the eastern portion of the site.

Amenity space entails 10,521m² provided indoors and 10,139m² outdoors, complemented by a network of trails, plazas, and landscaped areas totalling over 39,000m². Parking would be accommodated within three levels of underground garage space, with a total of 4,378 vehicular spaces. Bicycle infrastructure would include 3,094 spaces: 2,575 long-term and 519 short-term spaces.

The proposal is tied to planned higher-order transit improvements, including a future Heritage Heights GO station located roughly 500m from the site. Surface transit is expected to expand alongside growth, with existing Brampton Transit and Züm routes operating along Bovaird Drive and longer-term plans identifying Mississauga Road and Bovaird as priority bus corridors. A comprehensive active transportation network is also planned, including multi-use trails, sidewalks, and cycling routes connected to surrounding streets, including Pinnacle Parkway, Coastal Drive, and Mississauga Road.

The proposal is part of a wave of intensification in northwest Brampton. To the north, M3 Condos has been proposed with three towers ranging from 12 to 37 storeys, while to the southeast, closer to the future GO station, a growing cluster of developments is taking shape. Mount Pleasant Heights is already under construction as a large mixed-use subdivision featuring 42 buildings up to 14 storeys, alongside additional proposals, also including 2036 Bovaird Drive West with four towers ranging from 10 to 35 storeys, and Mount Pleasant Village Block 2, where seven towers from 28 to 47 storeys are planned.
