Mississauga City Council has announced it is onboard with a major re-envisioning of 12 acres of city-owned land next to city hall.

The vision is anchored by a 400,000- to 500,000-square-foot conference centre, a 400-room hotel with 1,500 to 3,000 underground parking spaces, a music hub with a 2,500 to 5,000 capacity performance venue, recording studios and a music school, explains a release.

It also features a new nine-storey office building and 20-storey purpose-built rental development with “atrium-style retail space along a re-designed pedestrian-friendly Princess Royal Drive.”

There will also be a signature Sky Park with an elevated open space and a more programmable Community Common urban park.
