A Place for the People of Cooksville.
The proposed plan for this site includes more than 2,200 new homes in five residential towers, a full-service community centre and a public library, as well as community-serving street-front retail and office space.
Design & Programming Highlights:
1.Public Realm
- Generous and accessible public spaces covering nearly half of the site, with a community gathering space.
- The public spaces will be designed to accommodate a variety of activities and uses that will serve the existing community, new residents, and the anticipated future population of Cooksville.
- A public plaza with a grand outdoor stair in the middle will act as a gathering space for the community. An urban forest that includes a variety of trees and greenery will support well-being.
2. A Community Centre and Public Library
- A new full-service community centre and public library delivered in partnership with the City of Mississauga.
-These community facilities will provide central gathering spaces, as well as much-needed community services to the Cooksville community. There is the potential for an aquatics centre, gymnasium, multi-use meeting and gathering spaces, and a daycare.
3. New Homes
- More than 2,200 new homes to be delivered as a mix of condominiums and purpose-built rental apartments.
- A partnership with Options for Homes is aiming to deliver 250-300 homes through an affordable homeownership program.
4. Design Excellence
- A commitment to sustainable building practices and human-scaled design.
- The buildings and public spaces will be designed to optimize sunlight and ventilation, biodiversity, resilience, and well-being.
