MISSISSAUGA, Ont. — Construction on new homes is officially underway at Lakeview Village.
It’s no small task remediating a 177-acre property that was once home to a coal-fired power plant. After many years of planning, shovels have broken ground on Harbourwalk by Tridel, the first building at Lakeview Village. Designed by architectsAlliance and II BY IV DESIGN, Harbourwalk will be a visually stunning collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom units with terraced balconies that “step down” toward the waterfront embracing views the lake. This design will become a signature feature of the skyline coming to the shores of Lake Ontario in Mississauga.
“The future of urban development is happening right now along the Mississauga waterfront,” says Brian Sutherland, President of Lakeview Community Partners. “A lot of work has been happening behind the scenes to get this site ready for what will be Canada’s most transformative new community. Today marks an exciting milestone in the development of this community as we begin construction on Harbourwalk, a building that will embody the vision of Lakeview Village.”
Harbourwalk will be home to 455 units, ranging in size from 600 to more than 2,000 square feet of living space, each with an amazing view. The distinctive design is centred around a 57,000-square-foot, European-inspired courtyard that encourages a sense of community, creating space for people to gather, exercise and relax.
“Together with our Lakeview Village Partners, we are transforming this space into something truly spectacular – a community that balances beautiful living spaces with sustainable design, employment opportunities, and vast green spaces, all while reconnecting people with Lake Ontario.” Says Jim Ritchie, President of Tridel. “But it’s more than just design excellence – sustainability and quality are at the heart of this project. From energy-efficient construction to innovative green technologies, Harbourwalk embodies our commitment to creating communities that are Built for Life.”
Lakeview Village will be a mixed-use complete community that will revitalize the Mississauga waterfront and open it up to the public, with connected greenspaces running throughout the smartly designed multi-residential buildings, retail, restaurants, office space and an innovation corridor. With a strong emphasis on building a connected community that prioritizes pedestrians, cycling and transit, Lakeview Village encourages residents to engage with the neighbourhood. Parks and public spaces are key features of this project, and the waterfront, its jewel, will draw residents and visitors, from near and far.
Unlike many other development projects, Lakeview Village is helping restore a natural habitat that has suffered from years of industrial use. “This is the way the future of urban development should be,” says Mr. Sutherland. “Building up, reclaiming old industrial lands and reconnecting with natural features like the waterfront. Lakeview Village will be a model for future urban developments across Canada.” To learn more about Lakeview Village, please visit mylakeviewvillage.com.
