Two 35-Storey Rental Towers Proposed in Mississauga

A major infill development is being proposed along one of Mississauga’s most active growth corridors, signaling continued momentum around transit-oriented housing in the city’s Downtown Hospital Growth Centre.

Plans have been submitted for a pair of 35-storey purpose-built rental towers at 2233 and 2235 Hurontario Street. Designed by BDP Quadrangle for Starlight Investments, the project will introduce nearly 700 new rental units while retaining the site’s existing apartment buildings.

Positioned along the future Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT, the proposal reflects a strategic effort to intensify underutilized land near transit and healthcare infrastructure.

Infill Development on an Active Residential Site

Urban Toronto reports that the 2.19-hectare property is located on the east side of Hurontario Street, just south of The Queensway and directly across from Mississauga Hospital.

The site is currently occupied by:

• Two existing rental buildings (12 and 13 storeys)
• A one-storey retail pavilion
• Surface parking areas
• Underground parking facilities

Rather than redeveloping the entire property, the proposal focuses on a 5,659 square metre portion at the southwest corner of the site. This approach allows the developer to add density while maintaining existing rental housing—a key consideration in today’s housing market.

The retail pavilion and portions of the surface parking will be removed to make way for the new towers.

High-Density Towers with Shared Podium

The proposed buildings will rise from a shared podium ranging from six to seven storeys in height.

Each tower will reach 35 storeys and approximately 123.84 metres, delivering a combined Gross Floor Area of over 52,000 square metres.

Key building components include:

• Two 35-storey residential towers
• Shared podium structure
• Ground-floor retail space
• Landscaped central courtyard
• Underground parking levels

The towers will feature compact floorplates of approximately 750 square metres, helping optimize unit layouts while maintaining building efficiency.

A minimum separation of 25 metres between towers—and similar distances from the existing buildings—ensures adequate light, privacy, and view corridors.

Nearly 700 Purpose-Built Rental Units

The development will introduce a total of 698 rental apartments, contributing significantly to Mississauga’s housing supply.

The unit mix includes:

• 78 studio units
• 347 one-bedroom units
• 203 two-bedroom units
• 70 three-bedroom units

This range of unit types is designed to accommodate a diverse tenant base, from single professionals to families seeking rental housing near transit and employment hubs.

Importantly, the proposal maintains the existing rental buildings on-site, aligning with intensification strategies that avoid displacement while adding new housing stock.

Amenity Spaces and Outdoor Design

The project includes a robust amenity package distributed across multiple levels of the development.

Residents will have access to:

• 1,432 square metres of indoor amenity space
• 671 square metres of outdoor amenity space
• Podium rooftop terraces
• Upper-level amenity areas
• Tower crown features
• Landscaped courtyard replacing existing asphalt

The central courtyard will act as a focal point of the development, transforming underutilized paved areas into a functional outdoor space for residents.

These features contribute to livability while supporting higher-density residential development.

Transit-Oriented Location Drives Design

The site’s proximity to transit is one of its most defining characteristics.

The future Queensway stop on the Hurontario LRT line will be located approximately 200 metres north of the property, providing direct connections along one of Mississauga’s primary north-south corridors.

Additional transportation features include:

• Nearby MiWay bus routes
• Connections to Port Credit and Cooksville GO stations
• Existing cycling infrastructure along Queensway and Camilla Road
• Planned cycling facilities along Hurontario Street

This level of connectivity supports reduced reliance on personal vehicles while encouraging transit use and active transportation.

Parking and Mobility Infrastructure

Despite its transit-focused design, the project includes a structured parking solution to accommodate residents and visitors.

Plans call for:

• 347 total vehicle parking spaces
• 300 resident spaces
• 43 visitor spaces
• 4 retail spaces
• Three levels of underground parking

Bicycle parking will also be provided, totaling 246 spaces:

• 35 short-term spaces at grade
• 211 long-term spaces within the building

Vertical circulation will be supported by eight residential elevators, with four per tower, along with a dedicated retail elevator.

Growing Development Activity in the Area

The Queensway-Hurontario corridor is seeing a surge in development activity as Mississauga continues to intensify around key transit nodes.

Nearby proposals and projects include:

• 26-storey tower at 2444 Hurontario Street
• 26-storey development at 49 South Service Road
• Gordon Woods Condominiums (26 and 29 storeys)
• Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital expansion (8- and 22-storey towers)
• 40-storey mixed-use proposal at 2300 Confederation Parkway

This clustering of high-rise development reflects a broader shift toward vertical growth in areas supported by transit and major infrastructure.

Construction Trades Involved

If approved, the project will involve a wide range of construction professionals and trades, including:

• Demolition Contractors
• Excavation and Sitework Crews
• Concrete Contractors
• Structural Steel Fabricators and Erectors
• Tower Crane Operators
• Masonry Contractors
• Glazing and Curtain Wall Specialists
• Roofing Contractors
• Mechanical (HVAC) Contractors
• Plumbing Contractors
• Electrical Contractors
• Elevator Contractors
• Fire Protection Contractors
• Interior Finish Trades
• Landscape Contractors
• Civil Infrastructure Crews
• Underground Parking Specialists

These trades will be essential in delivering both the high-rise towers and the supporting infrastructure required for the development.

Looking Ahead

The proposed twin towers at 2233 and 2235 Hurontario Street represent a significant step forward in Mississauga’s ongoing intensification strategy.

By introducing nearly 700 new rental units while preserving existing housing, the development balances growth with continuity. Combined with its proximity to the future Hurontario LRT and nearby healthcare infrastructure, the project is well positioned to become a key residential hub within the Downtown Hospital Growth Centre.

As the proposal advances through the zoning and approvals process, it will play an important role in shaping the future of transit-oriented development in Mississauga.
