Rogers Real Estate, Urban Capital, break ground at M3 in Mississauga
October 16, 2020
Rogers Real Estate Development and Urban Capital Property Group have broken ground at M3, the third and tallest tower at M City, a $2.5-billion community development at Burnhamthorpe and Confederation Parkway in Mississauga.
Designed by IBI Group, M3 will soar to 81 stories, surpassing the previous benchmark set by M City’s flagship towers, M1 and M2.
“Rogers Real Estate Development is thrilled with the progress being made at M City in Mississauga,” says John Anderton, vice-president and treasurer, Rogers Real Estate Development.
M3’s groundbreaking comes as construction charges full steam ahead on the 1,570 units that comprise M City’s first two phases. Rogers Real Estate Development, a private holding company owned by the Rogers family, enlisted Canadian developer Urban Capital Property Group to help bring its vision of downtown Mississauga to life. The eight-tower, 15-acre, 4.3 million-sq.-ft. master-planned community was designed by Cooper Robertson of New York.
M3’s unique, slender design features a subtle twist at the lower and upper parts of the tower and a dramatic sloped crown at the top. The design is rooted in the context of Mississauga’s downtown and was the result of a design competition held by Rogers Real Estate Development and Urban Capital. The tower’s verticality is enhanced by a dynamic facade defined by sawtooth balconies that create a black and white diagonal pattern up the building, providing scale, texture and materiality.
M3 will comprise almost 900 units ranging from 480 to 1,000 sq. ft.
