Peel Region marks groundbreaking at Byngmount Shores

BRAMPTON, ON (Feb. 18, 2026) – Peel Region marked the groundbreaking yesterday for Byngmount Shores, a seven-storey affordable rental community at 970 East Avenue in Mississauga’s Lakeview neighbourhood. The development includes 150 rental homes, including family sized units and ground floor community space. Twenty-two per cent of the homes will be fully accessible.

The project is supported by coordinated funding from all levels of government, including the Government of Canada through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Ontario’s Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Peel Region, and the City of Mississauga.

Construction has begun, led by Martinway Developments Ltd. as the design builder, and the project is expected to finish in 2028.
