This development will add 6 new affordable rental housing units in Mississauga.

• Planning
• Construction
• Applications open
• Complete

In partnership with Pathway Non-Profit Housing, and the governments of Ontario and Canada, this third-party led project will add 6 units to the lower roof level of the existing Pathway Arbour Mill.

The building

Pathway Arbour Mill is located at 3023 Parkerhill Road in Ward 7 in Mississauga and is close to:

• Supermarkets
• Dental and medical clinics
• Brickyard Park
• Downtown Cooksville

The vision

This development will add 6 new affordable, accessible rental housing units onto the lower roof levels at the north end of an existing 98-unit affordable housing building in Mississauga.

The 6 additional units will be accessible and targeted for seniors. The new residents will be able to participate in all existing community programs and activities.

Made up of 4 one-bedroom units and 2 two-bedroom units, these will be the first accessible units at Pathway Arbour Mill.

The City of Mississauga has approved pre-fabricated mass timber components to be used for this project. This is a cost-effective and innovative building solution which will result in less construction occurring on site, with less disruption to current residents.

The Pathway Arbour Mill expansion project is an example of gentle densification, adding to an existing site and building without having an adverse impact upon adjacent properties. The original 1993 Quadrangle building was an award-winning sustainable project when it was built.

This addition includes the provision of an efficient building envelope and all electric mechanical systems with energy recovery ventilators and heat pumps, making the addition 7.1% more energy efficient than the 2020 Model National Energy Code for Buildings).

Features

Once complete, the Pathway Arbour Mill expansion will have:

• Pre-fabricated mass timber.
• 2 two-bedroom fully accessible units.
• 4 one-bedroom units with accessible dimensions and roll-in showers.
  
• Energy-efficient features with all-electric energy recovery ventilators and heat
  pumps.
