Developers want to build a new housing project with two 30-storey high-rise buildings and dozens of townhouses.

The proposal from Gagnon Walker Domes Ltd. and Mech Arm Group Inc. is for a pair of 30-storey apartment buildings and a back-to-back townhouse development at 9400 Goreway Dr. in Brampton.

An earlier version of the plan proposed two 27-storey towers, while the new plans would bring 589 high-rise residential apartment units to the city. The development also includes 34 back-to-back townhouses and 24 through townhouses, for a total of 647 units.

Building plans also include indoor and outdoor amenity spaces, a two-level underground garage and a total of 713 vehicle parking stalls.

A full-move entrance onto the property from Goreway Drive would be required to connect to the development’s road network, with a right-in and right-out access from the Humberwest Parkway.

There is currently an occupied three-storey home on the property wedged between the Humberwest Parkway and Goreway Drive, and developers are seeking amendments to the City of Brampton’s Official Plan and Zoning Bylaws to move the project forward. The current official plan designates the site for “employment,” but developers want to change it to “neighbourhoods.”

Another development at 9281 Goreway Dr. proposes four buildings all between 16 to 20 stories tall, with 649 units including 65 affordable units, according to the application. Plans also include surface and underground parking with space for over 440 vehicles, 244 bicycle parking spaces, and a 77,000-square-foot outdoor amenity area.

The city’s planning and development committee meetings have been on hold during the Ontario municipal election cycle, with the next meeting scheduled for Dec. 7.
