Chelsea Gardens

This new infill development will add 200 new affordable rental housing units in Brampton.

The new building is centrally located in Brampton within a Major Transit Station Area (MTSA) and will be designed to meet Peel Region’s Net Zero Emissions (NZE) Building Standard for New Construction. Chelsea Gardens is registered on the Canada Green Building Council project database for the Zero Carbon Building – Design v3 certification.

Contact us for more information on Peel’s NZE Building Standard.

We look forward to your support for this exciting project.

Project status

The building is 20-storeys and has 200 apartment units. It is the third affordable rental apartment building on the site.

The project is currently in the design phase.

Early works construction (borehole drilling) is planned to start April 2024.

Success story: Peel working with the City of Brampton to create more affordable housing

The building

Chelsea Gardens is located at 4 and 10 Knightsbridge in Ward 7 in Brampton, near the intersection of Queen Street and Central Park Drive.

Chelsea Gardens is close to:

It is also walking distance to local parks, including Knightsbridge Park, Clark Park, Fallingdale Park, and Chinguacousy Park.

The vision

Chelsea Gardens is a project included in the Peel Region Council approved Housing Master Plan. This long-term capital infrastructure plan guides how we’ll create more affordable housing in Peel.

Chelsea Gardens has proven to be a favorable site because of its location, access to transit and other services. Currently, Chelsea Gardens is a 250-unit Peel Housing Corporation residential development made up of 2 apartment buildings,13 storeys each.

The new development would involve adding a third apartment building at the location, up to 20 storeys in height. The new tower will have approximately 200 units.
