A significant residential development project is set to transform Erin Mills Town Centre in Mississauga, with plans for nine condominium towers ranging from 20 to 44 storeys. The project, located at 5100 Erin Mills Parkway, will add 3,162 residential units as part of what could be the first phase of a larger redevelopment.
The proposal, submitted by Glen Schnarr & Associates Inc. on behalf of property owner EMTC Holdings Inc., envisions nine tower-on-podium buildings on the south side of Erin Centre Boulevard and east of Glen Erin Drive. This area currently houses retail outlets such as Pizza Pizza, HomeSense, and Dollarama, along with medical offices and open parking spaces. These buildings would be demolished to make way for the development.
Key features include:
- Towers: Heights ranging from 20 to 44 storeys.
- Units: A total of 3,162 residential units.
- Open Spaces: A 46,285-square-foot central park with a playground, exercise areas, seating, and trees.
- Urban Plaza: A community gathering space at Glen Erin Drive and Erin Centre Boulevard, featuring a performance stage and shaded seating areas.
- The development proposes 3,653 parking spaces through a combination of surface parking and a five-level underground parking structure. Bicycle parking will be available both underground and at ground level. The design integrates direct connections to the existing Erin Mills Town Centre, which will remain operational.
The redevelopment plan emphasizes creating a vibrant, transit-supportive community. The project will include a mix of green spaces, public gathering areas, and pedestrian-friendly design, aiming to replace the existing auto-centric layout.
This proposal is part of Mississauga’s broader “Reimagining the Mall” initiative, which seeks to revitalize and densify mall properties, including Meadowvale Town Centre, South Common Mall, Sheridan Centre, and Rockwood Mall. A similar project is also underway at Dixie Outlet Mall.
The Erin Mills Town Centre project is still in its early stages, and no city meetings have been scheduled yet. Public feedback and planning discussions will shape the development’s final design and timeline.
This ambitious project signals a major shift in Mississauga’s urban landscape, combining residential density with modern, sustainable community planning.
