Mississauga is part of the Greater Toronto Area so it is experiencing the same construction boom going on in Toronto. It's got about 750,000 people living in it so it's a fairly large city too.
For most of its history, it has been a commuter city for Toronto so large swaths of land are just subdivisions. However, the population started to explode in the early 00's so while growing, has been trying to shed that reputation by building a big downtown. It's pretty incomplete at the moment, lots of big roads that don't really suit a downtown, and all new construction has been condos or apartments, but it's something.
