Homebuying opportunities approach at Lakeview Village in Mississauga

A major new master-planned community in Mississauga is inching closer to reality, with new-homebuying opportunities set to begin in the coming weeks.

Lakeview Community Partners Ltd. (LCPL), the developers behind Lakeview Village, a mixed-use waterfront community being built on a 177-acre brownfield site along Mississauga’s waterfront, recently celebrated the launch of the Discovery Centre, with its doors officially opening to the public on April 18. The first completed building on the Lakeview Village site, the Discovery Centre is an architectural landmark that will be used as a community destination hub for local artists, events and exhibitions.

Importantly, it will also be used as the sales centre for the first upcoming new-home releases at Lakeview Village, beginning in June or July with Tridel, and followed in October by Branthaven.

“We are incredibly excited to officially open the doors to the Discovery Centre and welcome visitors to come and experience the scale of the Lakeview Village project and the vision behind its master plan,” says Fabio Mazzocco, president of Argo Development Corp. and Lakeview Community Partners. “Throughout the Discovery Centre, we have thoughtfully incorporated the defining elements that characterize Lakeview Village – sustainability, modern architecture, the arts, culture and open gathering space – all driven by the powerful influence of re-establishing a connection to the waterfront.”

The Discovery Centre, built with the community in mind, will serve as an immersive and interactive central gathering place for visitors to discover all aspects behind the Lakeview Village project, from design, public art and construction to technology and sustainability.

The Discovery Centre is also a gateway to the larger Lakeview Village site – a network of walkable trails and cycling routes, a new recreational field, a seasonal art trail featuring commissioned works by local artists, and waterfront views.

The first floor is dedicated to exhibitions from the Phase 1 builders – Branthaven, Caivan, Greenpark Group, DECO, Opus Homes and Tridel – to showcase the range of new home offerings. The facility also includes floral installations, a wrap-around living Green wall and a large, scaled model of Lakeview Village.

Tridel launch this summer

Tridel will be the first builder partner out of the gate at Lakeview Village, with sales set to begin this summer for the first of its two-phase, L-shaped towers, designed to fit together in a square geometry, with a centre courtyard.

“Their block will be the gateway to Lakeview on the western edge, connected too to the large park system that’s already in place with lakefront promenade,” says Mazzocco.

“We’re beyond excited to be involved,” Jim Ritchie, chief operating officer of Tridel, told NextHome. “This is an incredible opportunity given what it represents. We think we’re bringing a pretty incredible development, but it’s this community itself that really is the draw.

“I don’t know where you see this type of infrastructure, this lakefront, the pier and just the size and magnitude of everything of this master-planned community. (LCPL) has done a great job with Mississauga to get it to where it is, and we’re keen to get into the marketplace and bring something very special to Mississauga, and to this waterfront in particular.

“We’re taking a page of what’s worked for us so well on the waterfront at Bayside in downtown Toronto,” Ritchie adds. “Some of the things that worked really well there, we’ve brought to this community. We’re going to have a wide range of suite sizes, many with terraces, many with views to the park and to the water.”

Branthaven targeting October launch

Branthaven will be the next builder to market product at Lakeview Village, targeting October for a sales launch.

“We’re super excited. This is a milestone project for us, hopefully the first phase is one of many, and we’re excited about working with our partners and builders here,” Sean Wadsworth, vice-president of homebuilder operations at Branthaven, told NextHome.

Branthaven’s first phase will comprise a 15-storey midrise condo building with about 260 units, and about 60 townhomes within the same parcel of land. It will also include a centralized park and public area to be the focus of this portion of the development.

“You’ll find the architecture for our first phase is quite interesting,” Wadsworth adds. “The elevation of the building was inspired by a birch forest, so you’ll see elements of a forest and tree trunks throughout.”

Names for the buildings, roads and parks at Lakeview Village, still to be determined, will reflect the local history of the Lakeview area, including First Nations.

“These lands do have a deep history,” Mazzocco says.
