Peel Housing Corporation (Peel Living) is providing the land for this new building through the intensification of an existing community housing site.
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.

We look forward to your support for this exciting project.

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:
- Bramalea bus terminal
- Grocery stores
- Bramalea City Centre shopping mall
- Peel Civic Centre and Chinguacousy library
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 Community Housing Development Program. 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.
