147-unit development proposal increases to 633 units with towers in Mississauga

A 633-unit development is proposed for a piece of land previously subject to some controversy in Mississauga.

The development is proposed for 51 and 57 Tannery St. and 208 Emby Dr. in Streetsville.

A  demolition permit was issued for one building at the rear of the property at 51 Tannery St. in August 2019. Those opposing the demolition argued Tannery House, at 51 Tannery St., is of historic value to the Village of Streetsville. The property currently does not have a heritage designation.

In 2019, the proposal was to build 155 back-to-back stacked condominium townhomes on the property, and it was later revised to 147 units in 2021.

The current proposal is significantly larger with 633 units in 12- to 14-storey apartment buildings, according to the submission to the City of Mississauga from Glen Schnarr & Associates Inc. on behalf of the owner NYX Tannery LP (Montcrest Asset Management).

The project would have two towers on a shared six-level podium, organized around landscaped open spaces, the report states.

One tower, at the north part of the site, would be 12 storeys, and the second tower at the south end would be 14-storeys tall. The differing heights transition from low, towards the street, to high, towards the centre of the lot. This is done to reduce the perceived height from the pedestrian perspective, the report from SRM Architects + Urban Designers states.

The buildings are proposed to have 31 studio units, 342 one-bedroom units, 187 two-bedroom units, and 73 three-bedroom units.

There would be 602 shared parking spaces in a three-level below-grade parking structure and surface parking areas.

A diagram of the plans shows the house at 51 Tannery St. would be replaced with a tower.

The property is about a 10-minute walk to Streetsville GO Train Station, and Mullet Creek is located to the southeast.

“The proposal, as contemplated, will provide for a range of compact, refined, apartment-style housing options for households of varying size, incomes, life stages and lifestyle preferences,” the report states. “It will also provide market-based housing options that are well-served by existing community services, parks, local businesses and destinations.”

This proposal is still in its early stages and there is no public meeting scheduled yet.
