Another massive redevelopment has begun in the last few months in Mississauga's attempt of a downtown. The main focal point of it's centre, a massive mall called Square One, is set to receive a massive reintensification on the lands surrounding it (parking lots and fields), and at some points will reconfigure the mall itself in the future. Here's a quick blurb from when it was first announced last year,

"Landlord Oxford Properties has revealed details on a groundbreaking development that will transform the area around Mississauga’s Square One shopping centre into the largest mixed-use development in Canadian history. The massive ‘Square One District’ project will see thousands of residential units added to the property as well as new office buildings, park space, and a major transit hub, all of which will redefine downtown Mississauga for generations to come.

The incredible project will be made possible by densifying the vast under-utilized parking lots and buildings surrounding the existing Square One shopping centre. Oxford Properties owns the 130-acre site which includes one of Canada’s leading shopping centres as well as several low-density buildings surrounding it. The Daniels Corporation partnered with Oxford Properties and AIMCo on the first phase of the redevelopment.

Groundbreaking developments on the Square One District will begin in the fall of 2020 and and the project will be completed in phases over several decades. Hariri Pontarini Architects are responsible for the masterplan. The existing shopping centre property will remain intact though it too will see changes in years to come."
