About the project

Chelsea Gardens will create 200 new affordable rental homes within a Major Transit Station Area in Brampton, providing residents with convenient access to public transit, parks, shopping, services and community amenities.

Chelsea Gardens is Peel Region's first affordable housing project designed to meet Peel Region’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Building Standard for New Construction. The project also achieved Canada Green Building Council Zero Carbon Building – Design certification in July 2025.

The building will use a ground source GeoExchange system to provide efficient heating and cooling and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

The vision

Chelsea Gardens is part of the Peel Community Housing Development Program, a long-term infrastructure plan that guides how Peel Region will create more affordable housing across Peel.

The site was selected for its strong access to transit, services, and community amenities. Chelsea Gardens includes two existing 13‑storey buildings with 200 units. The development is adding a third 20-storey tower with 200 affordable rental homes, with a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units, including barrier free homes designed to support a range of accessibility needs.

Residents will have access to shared spaces designed for everyday living and community connection. These include a comfortable community room with views of the surrounding area, bookable meeting rooms, a common laundry area on the ground floor and secure bicycle parking.

The building will also include secure underground resident parking. Balconies are not planned for the new tower.

Sustainability is a key part of the project. Chelsea Gardens participated in Enbridge Gas’s Savings by Design program, which helped integrate energy efficiency early in the design process. Through collaboration with Enbridge technical advisors, the project team reviewed building systems and identified practical opportunities to improve energy performance, reduce long-term operating costs, and support emissions reduction goals.

The building also incorporates energy efficient systems designed to support resident comfort and long-term building performance. A ground source GeoExchange system will provide heating and cooling while reducing reliance on fossil fuels, supporting the project's Net Zero Emissions objectives.
