Mississauga's upcoming Lakeview Village is a prime example of this phenomenon and one of the largest "smart, future-proof" mixed-use developments of its kind under construction in the Toronto area. The community is expected to include waterfront trails, kayak and canoe docks, a marina, cultural and event spaces, and other outdoor amenities.
The project is expected to accommodate more than 1.9 million square feet of "employment space," and the innovation district will be integrated into the wider Lakeview Village community, which itself sits right at the heart of the aforementioned Toronto-Waterloo regional tech corridor. As a central hub for research, the Innovation District will stimulate a thriving business community, attract and retain diverse talent, and create an environment for humanity to develop cutting-edge solutions that drive global change.
"We're one step closer to transforming our waterfront into a world-class destination comparable to Stockholm, Chicago and San Francisco," said Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie. Will attract a new generation to Mississauga, a livable, walkable community that connects the lakeshore from east to west. Parks, open spaces and easy access to water define our vision. From providing space for artists to showcase their work cultural district, to an innovation corridor with more than 9,000 high-skilled jobs, the Lakeview Development Zone will revitalize our city. Not only will it be an ideal place to live and work, it will also be a tourist destination with one-of-a-kind views , has the longest pier on this side of Lake Ontario."
