The boutique nature of this building is appealing to people wanting a less dense living structure. The amenities are also conveniently located on the rooftop of the East Tower.

The Bridge House condos at Brightwater are the latest phase. The first two buildings that were released were Brightwater I and Brightwater II which are situated closer to Lakeshore Rd. The first of the Brightwater Towns was then released located along the West border of the Brightwater community. The Mason condos were the most recent launch in this waterfront community and offer a more boutique oriented setup similar to the Bridge House East Tower. Residents at Brightwater get access to the Community Mobile App which introduces technological perks for residents in this area. Wifi coverage ensures easy connection across the entire location. Residents can easily access the QEW and Port Credit GO Station for commuting while able to enjoy waterfront trails in neighbourhing areas such as J.C. Saddington Park.

The initial release of Brightwater Townhomes in 2021 will include 106 units. This creates an exclusive enclave with a community that’s perfectly positioned for connectivity to the Hurontario LRT, GO Train Lines, MiWay bus system and commuter access points such as the QEW. The architecture for the Brightwater Towns implements a modern farmhouse look with neutral tones and sleek spaces. A focus on ample glass and intelligent interior space design optimizes the presence of natural light creating an open and motivating atmosphere. The Brightwater Towns really implement functional design with sophisticated material choice to craft a luxury layer from which to enjoy your life here as a resident.

The Brightwater Towns are the third phase for this neighbourhood development. The first two phases consisted of Brightwater I and Brightwater II, each being a condominium building with various unit layouts. These two buildings are located around the central retail community square which will form a focal point for the area. This section of the community will offer pedestrian friendly streetscapes along with shopping, commercial and retail space. The entire Brightwater community will include a resident app allowing you to connect with the many amenities offered by the area. The Brightwater Towns provide a different type of living setup compared to the first two phases. These Mississauga townhouses focus on providing a luxury living environment for families, seniors and young professionals. Many great quality schools public and private schools such as Mentor College are available in the local area. By offering larger square footage living options in the area, the Brightwater Towns are a great compliment to the collection of more spacious living options in the area such as 55 Port and the Parklane Towns.

The Area

Here is what you’re looking at exactly. The purple polygon shape shown is the Platinum Belt. It is a combination of neighbourhoods along Lake Ontario that when assimilated, offer an expanse of luxury living. Roughly, without getting too technical on the intricate neighbourhood subdivisions, it is made up of the listed places. These all have their own inner detailed regions like “White Oaks of Jalna” within Lorne Park. Without complicating things, the whole purpose of the term Platinum Belt real estate is to define a collection of individual areas into one large locale. You may ask why? The reason is recognition and understanding, especially for foreign buyers. The beauty of the entire concept is the simplicity. If you observe the map, you’ll notice the entire section is defined by naturally appearing borders. Lake Ontario to the south, Rebecca/New Streets to the North (for most of the distance), Hurontario Street to the east and Brant St to the west.

Platinum Belt Neighbourhoods and Theory

Embarking on a lengthy drive years ago took me across all the neighbourhoods mentioned herein and there’s one communal feature; seamless transition. Realistically if you follow the Platinum Belt, you don’t notice the change in cities or neighbourhoods for the most part. Of course, there are identifying city signs and a slight industrial section at Lakeshore and Southdown but for the most part, it’s an endless gallery of multi-million dollar mansions and luxury homes. There is yet a place to be found that offers the sheer selection of land and homes at this distance.

Platinum Belt Boundaries

Visually seeing the boundaries of Platinum Belt real estate requires an explanation of why those landmarks were chosen. It’s simple. Consider Lakeshore Rd the main arterial passage with everything surrounding it included in the Platinum Belt. The only sections where this rule of thumb deviates is at Mississauga Road. The northern portion above the QEW was included due to the opulent nature and wealth of this region. Although it extends north, it is a crucial member of the Platinum Belt. The Doulton Estates located within are some of the most expensive homes in Canada. The eastern border is established at Hurontario Street. Although Mineola East is situated right after this boundary, it wasn’t included due to its developmental stage and also the ambiance differentiation. Mineola East is a fantastic luxury neighbourhood and prime location to build a custom home due to the availability of tear downs and land, but it doesn’t quite fit the character of the Platinum Belt. Along the north boundary stretching through Oakville to Burlington is Rebecca St which turns to New St in at the border. This was chosen as it is a simple, straight reference point and anything south of it is considered a prime real estate location. It must be noted that the closer you are to the lake, the more prestigious the homes tend to be.

Platinum Belt, what’s the point?

For locals who live within this region, it seems a bit unnecessary. We know the neighbourhoods and layouts quite well, especially if you’re in the real estate business, at least I would hope so. But we don’t realize the exclusivity of these addresses. Canada is the second largest country in the world and within it there are small, specific pockets of ultra luxury homes and communities. The Platinum Belt area however is the only one that extends for such a broad, uninterrupted distance. It really is completely unique. As a real estate professional, especially when getting inquiries from international clients there needs to be a way to define this stretch of habitable luxury land in a simple manner. People who don’t live here don’t understand the neighbourhood boundaries, nuances or specific names. It makes it much easier to present them with a visually defined area on a map to help them comprehend what you’re discussing. The next steps would be to explain the different parts of Platinum Belt real estate depending on client needs and specifications.

Why Platinum Belt?

Taking many influences from the Los Angeles real estate market. In Los Angeles there is a region known as the Platinum Triangle. This area, just like the Platinum Belt combines different neighbourhoods into one defined, connected area. The Platinum Triangle is composed of three areas; Bel Air, Holmby Hills and Beverly Hills, these three points being the reason behind the nomenclature. This term has become synonymous with luxury real estate in Los Angeles and is the “unofficial” title used by professionals to reference these areas when speaking to clients and the global audience.

Platinum Belt real estate status

The Platinum Belt also adds brand exclusivity. The Platinum Belt neighbourhoods are some of Canada’s finest places to live. Burlington and Oakville were the only cities within the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) to make the Top 10 List of best cities in Canada for 2014. Amazing architects and designers are also prominent in these areas such as Ferris Rafauli and David Small among others. It is a term which should become more prominent in our real estate vocabulary. Utilizing the Platinum Belt term when speaking with clients allows you to truly give this culmination of good luxury development planning a presentable title. Something that as Canada continues to grow in prestige on the world stage will become known.

Many individuals are already referring to Toronto as the next New York. Oakville is quite reminiscent of that “Beverly Hills lifestyle” and has the amazing estates included. The Platinum Belt is located in what is the most ideal place to live in Canada. It is between twenty to thirty minutes away from Toronto depending on which part of the belt you’re in. The nature, security, amenities and serenity is unmatched. Even Hollywood movies are being filmed in these regions now. Therefore it’s time we embrace our global appearance and define this luxurious region, welcome to the Platinum Belt.

Platinum Belt Media

Host 1:
Ever catch yourself scrolling through those, you know, like luxury real estate listings, the ones with infinity pools overlooking, like the entire coastline?

Host 2:
It’s easy to get lost in those daydreams.

Host 1:
It certainly is. Well, today we’re diving into a real estate concept that takes that whole dream home thing to a whole other level. We’re talking Canada’s Platinum Belt.

Host 2:
Okay.

Host 1:
And we’re dissecting this real estate blog, Platinum Belt Real Estate.

Host 2:
They’ve got some interesting takes on this very specific slice of the luxury market.

Host 1:
And it’s fascinating how this blog really hones in on a very particular clientele. This isn’t just about, you know, big houses. This is about cultivating an aura of, well, exclusivity.

Host 2:
Oh, absolutely. Like they’ve stumbled onto this hidden gem, and they’re giving us a little peek behind the curtain.

Host 1:
But before we get too far, let’s back up a bit. Geographically speaking, what are we even talking about when we say Platinum Belt?

Host 2:
Picture this: prime real estate, right on the shores of Lake Ontario in Southern Ontario—Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington—these are the core cities that, according to this blog, make up this Platinum Belt.

Host 1:
Okay.

Host 2:
And they really emphasize the seamless transition between these cities. It’s like one big, well, luxury corridor.

Host 1:
So less about distinct towns and more about this continuous flow of high-end living.

Host 2:
Exactly. You’ve got Lake Ontario naturally bordering the region to the south, and then major streets like Rebecca and New Street kind of defining that northern edge.

Host 1:
It’s like they’ve literally drawn a line on a map and said, boom, this is it, this is the Platinum Belt.

Host 2:
Pretty much.

Host 1:
I can already see the real estate ads: “Platinum Belt, where million-dollar views meet, uh, million-dollar homes.”

Host 2:
Right. But why even bother giving it this catchy name? Who are they trying to reach with this whole Platinum Belt idea?

Host 1:
That’s where the marketing savvy comes in. They’re addressing a real challenge that a lot of, especially international buyers, face. They might not be familiar with the local geography, the little nuances of each town.

Host 2:
Right. So instead of trying to explain every neighborhood, they’re packaging it all up into this, like, unified concept.

Host 1:
You got it. It’s about creating an identity, something aspirational.

Host 2:
It’s like how Silicon Valley immediately makes you think tech, or the Hamptons equals, like, beachfront mansions. They’re going for that same kind of instant recognition.

Host 1:
Precisely. They even draw a direct comparison to Los Angeles’s Platinum Triangle.

Host 2:
Ah, the land of Beverly Hills.

Host 1:
Mm-hmm.

Host 2:
So they’re aiming high then. They want to be mentioned alongside these global luxury destinations.

Host 1:
Yeah.

Host 2:
But what makes this Canadian Platinum Belt so special? Why even make that comparison?

Host 1:
Well, the blog points to a few factors. For one, having this continuous stretch of luxury properties right there on the lakefront, that’s pretty rare, even in Canada.

Host 2:
It’s like, you know, you’ve made it, but even then, there’s another tier.

Host 1:
Exactly.

Host 2:
And that exclusivity is, well, it’s got to be part of the appeal.

Host 1:
Absolutely.

Host 2:
And then there’s the lifestyle. Burlington, Oakville—they consistently rank really highly on all those best places to live lists.

Host 1:
The blog talks about how renowned architects and designers are everywhere there. So there’s a real sense of a particular aesthetic.

Host 2:
And they even go as far as to compare Oakville to having a Beverly Hills lifestyle.

Host 1:
Right.

Host 2:
Which, I mean, that’s a bold statement.

Host 1:
It is.

Host 2:
What does that even mean—a Beverly Hills lifestyle? Are we talking Lamborghinis in every driveway, or is it more, I don’t know, a little more understated than that?

Host 1:
I think it’s an interesting question because it really speaks to this idea that a certain lifestyle can, I don’t know, transcend just having a lot of expensive things.

Host 2:
Right.

Host 1:
It speaks to a certain level of affluence.

Host 2:
Sure.

Host 1:
But I think more than that, it’s an atmosphere, you know, a culture of exclusivity.

Host 2:
So it’s not just the mansions; it’s the vibe.

Host 1:
Exactly.

Host 2:
But I imagine location plays a huge role too, right?

Host 1:
Oh, absolutely. It’s interesting because while they’re really playing up this idea of secluded luxury, the Platinum Belt isn’t that far outside of Toronto. In fact, the blog actually highlights the proximity to a global hub like that.

Host 2:
But you still have that tranquility, you know, that exclusivity.

Host 1:
It’s like having your cake and eating it too, I guess. You can be in the city, you know, at the opera or whatever, and then zip back to your quiet waterfront.

Host 2:
Right. But let’s be real, calling it the Platinum Belt—that seems pretty intentional.

Host 1:
It does.

Host 2:
Like, they’re really trying to will this luxury brand into existence just by calling it that?

Host 1:
Yeah, and I think you’ve hit the nail on the head because the blog even acknowledges that Platinum Belt is as much about branding as it is about the actual location.

Host 2:
So they’re really trying to, by using this term, elevate the whole area’s, I guess, image for locals and international buyers alike.

Host 1:
It’s amazing what a name can do, you know?

Host 2:
It is.

Host 1:
Like, think about wine.

Host 2:
Yeah, yeah.

Host 1:
You could have a bottle with some fancy French name—

Host 2:
Right.

Host 1:
People think it’s the height of sophistication, even if you know it’s the same grapes as your neighbor’s backyard.

Host 2:
It’s all about perception, isn’t it?

Host 1:
Totally.

Host 2:
Especially with something like this—luxury real estate.

Host 1:
Yeah.

Host 2:
Because Platinum Belt evokes, you know—you think prestige, exclusivity, aspiration.

Host 1:
Right, right.

Host 2:
So they’re crafting a whole narrative around it before a single thing is even built.

Host 1:
It’s like this isn’t just a neighborhood—it’s a whole lifestyle.

Host 2:
Exactly.

Host 1:
And probably a very expensive one.

Host 2:
And a highly sought-after one.

Host 1:
Well, yeah. Because Canada, in general, it’s attracting a lot of attention these days.

Host 2:
I can imagine.

Host 1:
A lot of affluent individuals, families from all over. And I think the Platinum Belt is really trying to capitalize on that trend.

Host 2:
Right. But then doesn’t that kind of—I don’t know—when you hyper-focus on this very specific demographic, are there any consequences of that for everybody else?

Host 1:
Yeah, it’s a really good point. Does it help the surrounding areas, or does it cause more of a divide?

Host 2:
I think that’s an insightful question, and it’s something that there’s not a simple answer to. You could argue that if you have all this wealth and investment concentrated in one area, that can kind of boost everybody up, right? Like, a rising tide lifts all boats.

Host 1:
Yeah, that’s the idea, anyway.

Host 2:
But you could also argue that it just pushes everything else further out of reach, and I think that’s something that a lot of people are struggling with, you know?

Host 1:
Yeah, is it actually going to lift everyone up, or is it just going to create more inequality?

Host 2:
It’s almost like that little saying—location, location, location—but it takes on this whole other meaning when we’re talking about these really exclusive markets.

Host 1:
Yeah, it’s not just about finding a good spot for your dry cleaner anymore.

Host 2:
Exactly. This is next level. It really makes you think about, I don’t know, the impact these kinds of trends have on, well, on everybody.

Host 1:
Absolutely. It’s easy to get swept up in the luxury of it all, but there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface, you know?

Host 2:
Yeah. And I think that’s really important for us to remember. It’s not just about these multimillion-dollar homes. It’s about how these trends actually end up shaping the communities around them.

Host 1:
Yeah, and what that means for everybody who lives there, right?

Host 2:
Exactly. It’s not just about the people who can afford to buy into it.

Host 1:
Right, it’s about the whole ecosystem.

Host 2:
And it makes you wonder too, you know, as these trends continue, what are the long-term effects going to be?

Host 1:
That’s a good question. And I don’t know if we have the answer to that.

Host 2:
I don’t think so—not yet, anyway. But it’s definitely something to keep in mind.

Host 1:
Absolutely. And I think that’s really what we’re trying to do here, you know—get people thinking about these things.

Host 2:
Right. Peel back the layers a little bit.

Host 1:
Exactly.

Host 2:
Because it’s easy to just look at the surface.

Host 1:
It is.

Host 2:
But there’s always more to the story.

Host 1:
And I think that’s what makes these conversations so interesting.

Host 2:
Me too. It’s about looking beyond the obvious and asking those deeper questions.

Host 1:
Well said, well said. And on that note, I think we’ve covered a lot of ground today.

Host 2:
We have.

Host 1:
And given everyone listening, I think, plenty to think about.

Host 2:
I hope so.

Host 1:
Until next time.

Host 2:
Yeah.

Host 1:
Thanks for joining us for another Deep Dive.

Host 2:
It’s been a pleasure.

How To Buy a House

Everything In More Detail

Price Range [ 1 ]

Establishing Price Range allows for the creation of upper and lower limit lines which we then compare and contrast all the other variables against. Having the Price Range allows for evaluation of which Geographic Area to focus on. By contrasting Price Range against Geographic area, we can further compare against the Features you’d like in a home. This cascading list of comparison variables extends into the offer process when deciding how to approach offer conditions and ideal structuring of the package to secure your dream house in Lorne Park, Oakville, Port Credit, Clarkson and other Areas/Neighbourhoods. Let’s step back and look at each step of the process individually to better understand what to expect. We’ll explore these items chronologically.

Establishing price range will be primarily handled via a bank representative, or preferably a mortgage broker. The benefits of using a mortgage broker, as previously mentioned include their ability to browse multiple lenders. Whereas a bank representative works with the specific bank, an independent mortgage broker compares and contrasts the available mortgage packages from various lenders to find the best solution. Things that go into evaluating the price range when looking to buy a house in Clarkson, Etobicoke, Lorne Park, Port Credit or other areas include a few different items. If you currently own a property, the appraisal value and equity in the property will play a significant role. Income levels, debts, credit score and many other variables are all evaluated to present a final Price Range. Once we have this figure, we move on to the next step. Additionally, we can always recommend some mortgage brokers.

Explore Geographic Area [ 2 ]

Using a price range as the guiding principle for the Geographic Area selection is the most efficient way to approach the process. If you compare prices of South East Oakville and South West Oakville, there is significant difference, especially when you layer Home Features on top. Then you look at North Oakville and notice the price points are much lower there, but all three areas are within the same town. By establishing price range first, we use that to select specific sections of a city/neighbourhood that fall within the affordability range. Exploring geographic areas when looking to buy a house is where we look at the neighbourhood atmosphere.

Do you want proximity to the lake? Is public transit access such as the Hurontario LRT important? Many other common criteria points include distance to schools, commuter routes, workplace and lifestyle amenities. We also explore more intricate geographic variables like preference for mature trees, streets with/without sidewalks, architectural area styles and more.

As example of how price range and geographic area blend within Lorne Park is by comparing two areas within. White Oaks of Jalna is located just South West of Lorne Park Secondary School and offers a section where streets don’t have sidewalks, the properties contain beautiful, towering mature trees and lot sizes are generally larger with many custom built homes.

You can then contrast this area to Watercolours, a planned subdivision by Mattamy which sits South of Indian Rd and just West of Mississauga Rd. The Watercolours neighbourhood has younger tree vegetation and the entire streetscape is different. The area has a much more community oriented feeling to it and the homes share similar aesthetic themes.

Both areas provide excellent locations close to Port Credit and Clarkson Village as well as top quality schools in the Lorne Park neighbourhood. So when we have a price range outlined, we can filter which specific pockets in Lorne Park to focus on where we can attain the requirements and at a price which works!

Choose Home Features [ 3 ]

Selecting the features of a home is basically defining the DNA of the property. When looking to buy a house, selecting the criteria is a key component and is typically what most people do before Step 1 and 2. You can consider the home features simultaneously while we work through Steps 1 and 2, however it’s important to note that as the search progresses, different weights will need to be applied to each component of the requirements based on individual importance. Thinking about what home features you like extends beyond just number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Thinking about wanting lakefront access? You might need riparian rights for your property.

The type of backyard needed, whether you want to back onto a ravine or need a pool? Going inside, yes, number of bedrooms and bathrooms is key to consider, but also think about the kitchen/living space layout, number of parking spaces, ceiling height preference, architectural style. These detailed Home Features craft the property DNA and allow us to really focus on specific areas and in some cases, a specific street based on how fine tuned the home feature parameters are.

Start Looking At Homes [ 4 ]

Viewing homes and properties is an obviously important step when looking to buy a house. Whether it’s handled virtually through video chats and our professionals or we schedule times to view in-person, the same detail is always applied. Once a list of ideal homes for sale is crafted, we take care of coordinating the viewing appointments. When touring properties, we focus on experiencing the atmosphere and understanding the functional logic of the layout. Comparing the ceilings, paint colour selection, material finishes, appliance types, and all of the other home features we defined in the property DNA. Getting a sense of the surrounding area is also tied in to this stage of the process. This is the chance to experience the house and finalize a decision for the next step.

Offer, Conditional Period, Final Closing [ 5 + 6 ]

This part of the process when buying a house in Oakville, Lorne Park, Port Credit or other areas is very specific to each client and property. This part of the process to buy a home will be reviewed in detail with our professionals with each person to understand all of the intricate details. An offer is composed of many different Offer Settings such as offer price, deposit amount, conditions, offer clauses, closing date timeframe and more.

These different offer settings are dialed in to provide the best offer position for a successful buying result. The offer settings will vary greatly based on how the property is being sold (offer presentation, typical market negotiation, bank sale, and more), where and when it’s being sold and how each person’s individual situation dictates the best course of action. Because of the sheer amount of information and amount of different scenarios, we typically try to start the process with someone looking to buy a home by going through Steps 1 – 4 and simultaneously covering details related to Steps 5 and 6 as we approach the relevant part of the buying process.

Brightwater I Condos

This lower height construction will retain the characteristics that make this such a popular destination. The Brightwater I condos will rise 5 storeys and include a total of 75 Brightwater condos for sale with 1 bedroom layouts up to larger 2 bedroom + den configurations. Brightwater I will be located right along the retail sections of the project, giving residents a truly urban and pedestrian accessible location. Brightwater I, located along 181 Lakeshore Rd W, Mississauga will incorporate a stylish cantilever design to create a unique architectural appearance. The boutique style design with just 75 units staring at 500 Sqft offers a great option for people wanting a less busy building with easier elevator access. Having the retail space adjacent to the building also means convenience is at your front door. Below we have images of the Brightwater I condos and the new retail building that will reside along Lakeshore Rd W. Views from the Brightwater I condominiums will include the local scenery of the project as well as placing you within the atmosphere if the Village Square.

Brightwater II Condos

The Brightwater II Condos are going to be larger than the first building and will offer reisdents more expansive views. The Brightwater II Condos are 14 storeys tall and incorporate 253 Brightwater condos for sale and 15 Brightwater townhomes for sale within the podium structure. This provides a great variety of layouts and view options for people which brings great fuinctionality to the project. Condos will start from 460 Sqft in size and the Brightwater townhomes will start at approximately 1115 Sqft. Layouts within the Brightwater II condominium building will include a mix of 1 Bed units ranging up to 2 Bed + Den layouts. This condominium, with the current address of 70 Mississauga Rd South will be located pretty centrally in the development. The Brightwater Port Credit project will offer a central community hub known as Village Square that connects a central boulevard and provides a retail and entertainment locale for residents. The views from Brightwater II will include overviews of the community itself, and parts of Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline depending on the unit floor height and view direction. This exciting and dynamic building is a great modern addition to the Port Credit community. One of the new projects located to the East of Port Credit are the Lakeview DXE Club condos by Vandyk, offering another modern option for people to call home.

Brightwater in Port Credit is one of the most exciting projects the area has ever seen. The third building within this lakeshore community is known as The Mason at Brightwater condos. This transformation of old industrial land into a modern and vibrant residential community brings so much opportunity for local businesses and opens the door for many more residents to enjoy South Mississauga living. Close proximity to Lorne Park and the many amenities of Port Credit means the Brightwater I and Brightwater II condos will quickly become some of the most desirable buildings in the area. By providng such a mixture of layouts and floorplan options, FRAM, one of the builders is allowing for a lot of flexibility and consideration that residents can make. The more traditional architecture for this phase of the project means that it will remain timeless and will compliment the existing designs that run along Lakeshore Road. Connect with us to stay up to date for access to 70 Mississauga Rd S condos & 181 Lakeshore Rd W condos.

The Lakeview Village precon project will add approximately 8,000 new residential units to the area in the form of Lakeview Village condos for sale and Lakeview Village townhouses for sale that will be intelligently integrated into the community driven design of the area. The total site area is approximately 177 acres and is the former land where the Lakeview Generating Station, an old coal power plant which commenced demolition in 2006 and completed in 2007. The project is composed as a full community with distinct neighbourhoods and parks all centered around Lakeview Square, a central spot where the community can meet and enjoy shopping, entertainment and fun.

Lakeview Village is located just to the East from the popular Port Credit area and therefore reflects some similar lifestyles and activities. Because this community is located on Lake Ontario, residents will be able to enjoy kayaking and paddle board rentals, similar to what’s seen in Port Credit currently. This is just one of the unique offerings that will make this live-work development so in tune with modern living. There is a big focus in contemporary living design to emphasize co-working spaces and provide creative options for people to accomplish their goals within. Lakeview Village takes these principals and applies them via designated sections for businesses to setup offices within and for people to utilize for work. Creating a positive atmosphere within these areas and the community as a whole is key and the use of parks in strategic methods is how 800 Hydro Rd and 1082 Lakeshore Rd E accomplish it. Good use of space is seen in the linear parks in the project such as Waterway Common, a green space that runs along a new channel and green space which winds its way through the contemporary structures. These multi-phase projects and the unified community they create by planning intelligently is being seen across different projects in Mississauga such as the Brightwater Port Credit development located on the West side of Port Credit, also along the lake. Brightwater in South Mississauga (including Brightwater I and Brightwater II) also combines various elements of nature and lifestyle driven design which perfectly compliments Lakeview Village, between the two projects, Mississauga’s waterfront is transformed into an unbelievably desirable place to call home. Other large scale community projects taking shape in Mississauga are the M City condos and the urbanized Square One District project.

Being situated along the lake, there is plenty of opportunity to take advantage of the serene setting. Inspiration Point is a modern park space that extends out into the lake and offers spectacular views of the Toronto skyline, the Lakeview Village project itself and the distant horizon of beautiful Lake Ontario. You’ll find people using spaces like these to enjoy time with families and friends, enjoying walks with their dogs, figuring out their next educational or business venture while feeling a sense of inspiration from the surroundings. This is the beauty of combining architectural design with purpose that evokes the positive feelings of humanity. Public transportation and key connectivity is important at 800 Hydro Rd and 1082 Lakeshore Rd East, Mississauga. Short distances to highway access and connection points to the GO Train and Toronto’s TTC system means that you have strong accessibility to various regions in the Greater Toronto Area. The Westport condos are also very conveniently located for easy GO train access. Located just North and slightly to the East of this community are the new Vandyk condos known as Lakeview DXE Club offering even more modern growth to the area.

Lakeview Village at 800 Hydro Rd Mississauga and 1082 Lakeshore Rd East Mississauga will delivery residntial units that will house approximately 15,000-17,000 new people. This increased density will bring the population necessary to support the continued growth of local business, both existing ones in the area as well as the new commercial and retail space that will be incorporated into the project. Residential units will be spread among Lakeview Village condos along the section named The Marina with buildings ranging from low, mid and high rise designs. There will also be a secondary residential segment named Ogden Green that will craft a more grounded residential mix in the form of Lakeview Village townhouses for sale which are perfect for families and people preferring this type of structure. Contemporary design aesthetics will be used to their fullest extent to create a warm and inviting atmosphere while still utilizing the benefits of high quality finishes and functional floorplans. Lakeview Village precon will allow people to purchase real estate during the multi-phase development of this brand new community.

Lakeview Village is already in full process for construction with consistent site work being done on a regular basis. 800 Hydro Rd and 1082 Lakeshore Rd E phases will be completed in rapid succession while taking great care to preserve the existing nature and implement the visionary designs in a quality driven and reliable manner. Not only will Lakeview Village bring sophisticated living experiences for residents, but it will craft a destination for people to visit in South Mississauga. Further, Lakeview Village will establish new parks such as the Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area that ensure the natural spaces we as humans need will be properly integrated into this exciting community.

The focus of Brightwater will not only be on offering beautiful residential units, but will also provide new pedestrian friendly spaces, commercial opportunities and over 18 acres of public + park lands. The Port Credit West Village area will seamlessly integrate with the existing waterfront trail to preserve public access to beautiful Lake Ontario. For families looking to live in the area within larger square footage type units, the Brightwater Towns offer expansive layouts with truly modern finishes.

The Brightwater project is being developed through a collaborative effort of several experienced developers/investors know as Port Credit West Village Partners. This team consists of Kilmer Group, Fram+Slokker, Diamondcorp and Dream. The condo tower buildings in the community will reach a maximum height of 29 storeys, thus preserving the more calm and serene atmosphere of lakeside living. Brightwater is located close to the QEW highway for easy vehicle access to Downtown Toronto. The Port Credit GO Station is also only several minutes away providing a convenient public transit option which will in future connect with the Hurontario LRT. There are a few additional condos that are located within short walking distance to the GO Station, these include the Westport condos, 55 Port St E condos and Tanu. The assortment of different unit styles means that the development can cater to a wide variety of potential residents, from young professionals to families.

The Brightwater / Port Credit West Village project will truly transform Mississauga as a city. The entire city of Mississauga is seeing a growth in urban scale projects similar to Brightwater, these include the M City condos, Square One District, Exchange District and more. This is a massive undertaking and it will be several years before completion. Sales of units will follow the Preconstruction process, for guidance and representation, connect with us. We’re very excited about Brightwater and how it’ll positively impact our lakefront. Port Credit is one of Mississauga’s most desirable communities to reside in and with this large community expansion, it will give many people that opportunity. We additionally have the third building in this waterfront community known as The Mason at Brightwater condos for sale.

Parklane Residences Townhomes Info

The Parklane Residences in Port Credit are being developed by KobenHavn and were designed by Turner Fleischer Architects. The interior design work was completed by Bryon Patton and Associates. Utilizing clean interior finishes with slight hints of modern urban charm, the luxurious atmosphere is complimented with an air or simplicity and warmth. The exterior uses a perfect example of organic architecture to blend into the surrounding nature and accentuate it with the prominent use of wood and stone façades. Another local luxury townhouse option are the Brightwater Towns which bring functional layouts and modern farmhouse style architecture together for a seamless family oriented real estate option.

Riparian Rights Vs Simply Waterfront?

Typically riparian rights applied to the shorelines of Mississauga, Oakville and Burlington allow the owners exclusive access in private form to Lake Ontario, access via boat and the ability to erect structures to house marine vehicles and simplify the overall water access process. Having riparian rights requires the property to actually sit against the shores of Lake Ontario. Although many of the luxury properties are considered “waterfront”, they do not actually abut the lake, therefore making the possibility of riparian right ownership impossible. This concept of having lake views from your property but not having direct private access to the lake is quite common among the Platinum Belt municipalities. This is due to the city/town governing bodies wanting to retain public space for all people to enjoy the nature offered in these locales. Therefore having actual riparian rights places you within a very exclusive selection of home owners and in turn increases the value of the property given the rare nature. As shown in the aerial image provided, the homes that have a white space between the body of water and the actual property have lake views but no riparian rights or even direct waterfront access. In this case there is a park between the home and water. This is a common setup, but as exemplified by this image, properties like this are nestled between properties with actual riparian rights (green properties on image). Many home owners along the lake have opted to construct docks or other methods of connecting their marine enjoyment with the convenience and privacy of their backyard.

The Numbers

Within Burlington there are about 157 properties on the lake, in Oakville there are approximately 433 waterfront properties. This number will fluctuate as certain lands are severed or combined. However, out of this number, not all have riparian rights. In the exclusive South East Oakville neighbourhood, there are only about 155 waterfront properties, with even a fewer number offering riparian rights. This means that having riparian rights is definitely a point of increased value, opportunity and overall positivity in land use. A tangent that is also affected is in regards to pools, which are quite common in the luxury home market. In accordance with by-laws, if your property does not directly form a boundary with water and adjacent private land, you need to close off access to your pool (typically via a fence). This is due to safety reasons. Therefore if you have a home that is directly on the water, it allows for the construction of a true infinity pool that seems to be a growing trend. This combined with riparian rights gives the owner complete control over both the use of the land and water within their segment along the lake and a higher sense of privacy. With all these combined outcomes of having riparian land, it is extremely important that you are aware of the presence of these rights when purchasing a lakeside property. This article should shed some basic light as to what riparian rights are, how they affect the Platinum Belt home market and essentially what it means.

Design

Starting from humble beginnings, David Small completed his design education and then jumped right into building homes. Over the years a great team has been formed and a collaboration of various design entities was implemented. Lets begin by looking at what is a perfect fusion of traditional and modern design. The image here shows my favourite David Small Designs home exterior. As you can tell it features stone façades and sloped roofs, but with character and a unique shape which flows naturally.

This David Small Designs home is located in a very exclusive part of the Platinum Belt in Oakville. Its exterior design blends perfectly into the surrounding vegetation and offers a serene setting. However beautiful the exterior is, the true beauty lies in the transition within the interior. This is the key to why I enjoy this firm’s work. Immediately upon setting foot within this spectacular estate the transformation takes place. No longer do you feel the traditional appointments from outside. Instead there is a clean utilization of zebra wood, stone and iterations of a pure contemporary layout. David Small Designs blends these values with certain traditional details, like the arched windows and colour hues that reflect the exterior tones. It really is a marvelous piece of work and I tip my hat to the designers and clients for having such an appealing vision. For the full image portfolio you can head here.

David Small Designs has recently moved into a slightly more contemporary style which echoes inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright. Over the years David Small Designs have really honed their craft and churned out purely original, tasteful results. I suppose it’s partly due to an overall change in taste among people who are in the market for such endeavors. An evolution of an architecture era, the great designers will adjust and follow suite whereas those who are not as fluid in their creative applications will simply be left behind. David Small Designs realized this and put out a project that sealed their membership in the contemporary community.

Process

A home builder of David Small Designs‘ stature needs a respectable abode to call their own residence. David does not disappoint. Fueled by the growing business and success he set out to build something for his family. What’s unique is the entire development was documented and then presented as a sort of “case study”. Usually there’s total privacy and an air of secrecy surrounding these luxury home builds, but David decided to provide full access to the story. People like me get excited about this. The home is very reminiscent of the Fallingwater design and is a prime example of organic architecture. The use of wood, stone and concrete is spectacular and creates something that is completely unique for Mississauga. These are the types of designs which need to become more prevalent in our neighbourhoods. The multi tiered flooring gives depth and accentuation to the whole layout. It provides flavour and emphasizes great lot use. Another sad trend which is becoming terribly common is an unbalanced home to lot size ratio. This David Small Designs home shows what a perfect home/lot ratio looks like.

As you can see from the pictures, the home is simply beautiful. It has sparked inspired clients who now have a visual, physical representation of what David Small Designshas to offer. Very smart move on their part by nailing several goals with a single build. For the full set of images and the design story, head over to the David Small Designs page. The image depicting the home under construction is located in the Platinum Belt and is selling for close to $7,000,000 just to give you an idea of the price ranges we’re looking at.

Transformative

Flipping back to a more traditional project which really shows a drastic difference in styles, we’ll observe a recently sold approximately $4,000,000 project in Lorne Park. The surrounding homes all have similar styles with one having been built by David Small Designs across the street. Therefore the exterior walls and overall atmosphere needed to be cohesive for the intersection. The interior is a whole different story! Just compare the kitchen shot to the outdoor view. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but the Copper House by David Small Designs has really shown that two drastically different design palettes can be successfully integrated.

To wrap things up I want to point out a giant estate which was finished recently for a client who wanted a “European inspired” home. The size is approximately 13,000 square feet. The location is up in the Burlington Bluffs, a hidden neighbourhood of exclusive, high-end luxury homes nestled upon Mt Nemo. It is David Small Designs‘ largest construction project and oozes of ostentatious luxury. For full details and David’s personal success story, go ahead and visit the David Small Designs website.
