The subtle facade sculpting shows up in the massing diagram.

50 Eglinton West | 194.2m | 58s | Madison Group | Turner Fleischer l pre-construction

Originally proposed at 37 and 35 storeys, now a resubmission is asking for a big jump in height for both towers (now 58 and 46 storeys) and a large increase in residential units (from 844 to 1206 units).

UnionCity South | 159.55m | 49s | Metropia | Arcadis l site prep (?)

Move over Mississauga… Markham in the house showing how she can build crazy stuff in fields too ;-).

I thought this was just a vision exercise but there’s early work underway on site lol. 49, 42, 42, 39, 35 and 35 storey towers with more than 2000 residential units, retail and park.

UT

There’s machines doing stuff (including shoring rigs) so who knows.

colemonkee · #**4789** Posted **Apr 22, 2024, 9:30 PM**

Love the name: "Metropia". Is there a office component to this, or is it just residential and retail? Having office in those podiums would make this a more 24-7 development.

isaidso · #**4790** Posted **Apr 22, 2024, 10:41 PM**

It's listed as Residential, Commercial, Public Space/Park and just east of the CN-Metrolinx-GO Stouffville Rail Corridor.

Holy moly - wth is going on in Canada?

Places I've never heard of launching 10 figure superdevelopments. This looks like something for Vegas.

Also Mississauga going to be a top 10 tower city in North America before you know it as well.

Canadian cities have always had a lot of high-rise construction. High-rise construction in Mississauga already peaked in the 70s. Markham is just going through what Mississauga went through 40 years ago.

Number of high-rise buildings in Mississauga, by decade
1960s: 20
1970s: 80
1980s: 60
1990s: 55
2000s: 42
2010s: 39
2020s: 22

As you can see, the pace of high-rise construction in Mississauga has been steadily declining for the past 50 years. So it is very unlikely to ever surpass Miami, let alone enter the top 10 in North America.

Altoic · #**4793** Posted **Apr 23, 2024, 5:49 AM**

I've always thought of Mississauga as Fort Lauderdale and Toronto as Miami. It's the only way to think about it in my mind! On another note Toronto will definitely surpass Chicago this decade or next decade... which will warrant some unique responses.

61 storeys x 2 and 58 storeys x 2 with about 2400 residential units, retail and pretty amazing POPs.

I should have specified 'skyscrapers' rather than towers, ie 150 meter plus buildings.

6 of the tallest 10 buildings in Mississauga are currently under construction, with 2 others finished last year (M1 and M2). https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/city/mississauga

Before 2023 there were only 4 150m+ buildings and none in 2011 - so Mississauga is breaking through a new height ceiling construction wise.

Skyscraper counts by cities are generally tallied by 150m+ only. But I didn't not know that Mississauga had so many 100-350 ft buildings. I'm not sure what 10th place in 150m+ buildings is in NA, bu it's probably only around 15 or so, so Mississauga is almost there.

I just figure that these new height booms in Mississauga and Markham and Vaughn are spillover from the deluge of development in Toronto.

I counted on CBTUH website and Toronto/Mississauga/Markham/Vaughn have 40+ 150m buildings u/c which puts them on part with the biggest cities in China.

Love those Toronto proposals!. Simple but elegant and thank God they are not just blue/green glass adding some needed colour to the area.

2nd that. Those look like great proposals.

That chart is rather deceptive considering the towers going up today are massively taller than the ones that went up 1960-2010. If things continue on their current trajectory Mississauga could certainly pull even with skylines like Dallas or Boston in the next 10-15 years. Contrary to what your chart suggests, their big growth spurt is happening now.

You're correct that this is spillover from Toronto. There are 25 nodes scattered over the Greater Golden Horseshoe earmarked for major intensification. Mississauga City Centre, Vaughan Corporate Centre, and Markham Centre are just 3 of them. Regarding 150m+ building count, Mississauga is absolutely taking off. In 2011, Mississauga had none. In a few years the tally will be 14 and the pipeline of 150m+ buildings suggest the number could zoom far higher.

150m+ Buildings
Built: 6
U/C: 8
Proposed: 27

koops65 · #**4800** Posted **Apr 23, 2024, 11:19 PM**

There are 14 skyscrapers in Mississauga now, 6 built and 8 U/C. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=105067124 - https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=105067135

BUT... there are another 27 in the pipeline. https://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=105067138
