A new housing proposal for a six-storey building has been submitted to the City of Burlington, potentially adding 66 residential units to the Plains Road East corridor.
The development, which is currently under review by the city’s planning department, is proposed at 198, 200, and 206 Plains Road East. In addition to the homes, the plans include 183 square metres of ground-floor commercial space. To accommodate residents and visitors, the design features two levels of underground parking with 94 vehicle stalls and 45 spots for bicycles.
The site sits within the Aldershot area, about 500 metres from the Aldershot GO Station. This location is part of a transit-focused growth strategy, with the area recently re-designated from medium-density residential to a mixed-use corridor. This shift is intended to allow for both housing and local businesses to operate in the same buildings. Over the last four years, the Aldershot area has seen approximately 15 developments ranging between seven and 33 storeys approved as part of this ongoing expansion.
This project aligns with the city’s broader goal to increase the housing supply. The effort is supported by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation through the Housing Accelerator Fund. The city is working toward a goal of permitting 2,724 new housing units by the end of 2026, and by the end of 2025, officials had already permitted 1,664 of those units.
Residents interested in learning more about this or other local planning proposals can view the details through the Current Development Projects page on the city’s website. The area is represented by Ward 1 Councillor Kelvin Galbraith.
