M-City Block 2 & 3

Mississauga is in the process transforming from a suburban area to an urban centre with a strong economic, civic, and cultural core. Designed for connected living, M City will create a neighbourhood of pedestrian oriented residential, retail and green spaces. 

The M City development is an impressive project, covering five acres of land, over four million square feet, with two acres of green space and eight towers. The site is in close proximity to the civic and economic centre of Mississauga, transit, Square One, and tied into its surroundings with a connection to the Mary Fix multi-use trail. Its scale and unique connected design will shape the future of Mississauga and the way people live. 

With the other phases underway, the three towers – M6, 7 & 8  - will add the final stroke, completing the overall vision for the development. Our design aims for a synergy with the playfulness of the shifting geometry featured prominently in the other phases of the project while adding a unique understated refinement. The interchange of balconies at each level layer creates lighthearted movement while the fading away of the hard corners soften the geometry. The towers meet the sky with crowns that have gently rounded edges and an irregular shape that compliment the quiet elegance. At grade, the towers come down to meet the ground, breaking up the massing of the podium and highlighting the entrance to the towers. Podium heights were designed to match those of the Grand Park Towers to the west, creating cohesion at street level. The heights are an intentional stepping down from the M3 – the tallest tower and centre of M City. 

Delving further into the details of the plan, Block 2 features a single 55-storey tower, M6, that fronts onto Burnhamthorpe Road, a major thoroughfare and gateway to the city-centre. Extensive retail at grade will allow for an animated streetscape lined with patios and terraces that pull from the energy of the city. Wrapping around the corner and side of the building, the residential lobby, featuring a prominent canopy, welcomes residents from the corner of Burnhamthorpe and Redmond Road. On Vancouver Street, the tower is set back from the centre of the block, buffered behind generous landscaped greenspace, and 2-storey townhomes, and a potential daycare that create an engaging public realm. Indoor and outdoor amenity space is provided on levels 4 and 5. 

Block 3 features two residential towers; M7, a 50-storey building fronting onto Redmond and M8, a 45-storey tower fronting onto Webb Drive. Separate residential entrances and lobbies create a distinction between the two buildings that share a podium and amenities space on levels 5 and 6. Similar to M6 both towers are buffered from the pedestrian realm by generous green-space at the centre of the block and 2-storey townhomes.
