Connectivity built from day one.
Square One District is already a major transportation hub with the busiest GO Transit terminal outside of Union Station, recorded as serving more than 20,000 customers daily. By combining existing surface parking with underground and above-grade structures, the SQ1 District master plan embraces the city’s official vision.
Embracingwhat makesus unique
Already alive with activity, Square One District will continue to be a natural focal point for the growing community around it, holistically supporting business, life and leisure.
A seamless extension of the existing neighbourhood and Square One Shopping Centre, the master plan will build upon the sense of community that already thrives among its various institutions, like Mississauga City Hall, Celebration Square, The Living Arts Centre, and Sheridan College.
Stimulating the senses, appealing to diverse tastes and with a fresh urban spirit at heart, the energetic lifestyle complex will be enhanced with new eateries, open public spaces, activated streets, and vibrant piazzas.
