Port Credit Village

Port Credit Village–a 27.2-acre (11-hectare) mixed-use, mixed-income town center–has reclaimed an underutilized industrial site on Lake Ontario, 20 minutes from downtown Toronto, in Mississauga, Ontario. The project joins two formerly separated sides of the suburban village of Port Credit, connecting it with a restored waterfront and providing a gentle transition from high-rise development on the west to single-family housing on the east. Completed in 2005, Port Credit Village contains 410 residential units, 30,000 square feet (2,838 square meters) of retail and office space, and 1,300 parking spaces, approximately 1,200 of which are underground or enclosed. Eighteen of the dwellings are live/work units in a townhouse arrangement. The commercial component of these units forms a pedestrian corridor. Located just blocks from a commuter rail station, Port Credit complements the province’s smart growth initiative by intensifying pedestrian-oriented suburban development along a major transportation corridor and upgrading a longstanding village retail hub.
