Deal struck between City and developers for two new towers in Burlington
Published September 14, 2022 at 12:57 pm
A deal has been made between the City of Burlington and a local developer to allow a pair of residential buildings in Aldershot.
The proposed settlement means a scheduled hearing before the Ontario Land Tribunal, which has final say on development issues, will now become a settlement hearing.
The new plan calls for Burlington 71 Plains Inc. to construct two buildings at 53-71 Plains Rd. E. and 1025 Cooke Blvd., which is situated at the northeast corner of Plains Rd. and Cooke Blvd. east of Waterdown Road.
The revised development proposes two separate buildings. The building on the west side of the property at 1025 Cooke Blvd and 53 Plains Rd. E. will consist of an 18-storey tall building at the northwest corner of the property with an 11 storey base fronting Plains Rd E.
The building on the east side, at 71 Plains Rd. E., will consist of a nine-storey, mid-rise building.
The ground floor of the buildings would offer a combined 22,300 sq.-ft. of ground floor commercial and retail space as well as a half-acre park at the northwest corner of the site.

There will also be a 15-metre-wide mid-block pedestrian connection between the buildings which will provide pedestrian access to adjacent retail/commercial space and a pedestrian connection between Plains Rd. E. and the proposed park space.
The proposed development will accommodate 550 residential units.
