SOLD: Site of Hickory Drive Explosion in Mississauga
Published December 24, 2016 at 4:23 am
Back in September, we learned that the site of the Hickory Drive explosion was for sale for $675,000.
Now, it appears that the property has been sold.
According to a recent Global News article, the lot that once held the ill-fated bungalow–located on 4201 Hickory Drive–recently sold for well under asking. Although the $675,000 asking price wasn’t terribly wild considering the value of the property, Global is reporting that the lot sold for $550,000.
In the initial listing, the incredibly serious incident was not mentioned. The listing read:
“Vacant Land For Sale At One Of The Best Location In Mississauga. Good Size Lot With 150’ Depth. Buye R And His Agent To Verify All The Details, Taxes And Any Measurements.

While the explosion tragically displaced many neighbours (multiple homes were condemned as a result and several had to be destroyed), some residents are happy about the sale.
A woman with an 11-year-old son who is currently displaced told Global that she welcomes the news and hopes the new owners can make new–and ideally, happy–memories in the area.
