The community will be known as Pickering City Centre and will feature over 50 acres of newly designed space, CentreCourt says.
CentreCourt says it plans on including the existing commercial and institutional uses in the area, namely the mall and the adjacent Pickering City Hall, in their design plans. “The connected series of wide streets, parks, midblock landscaped courts, and urban piazzas are designed to connect people and activate a sense of community,” said Donald Schmitt, CM Principal with Diamond Schmitt Architects.
“Other amenities in the towers will include a rooftop pool, outdoor lounge areas and grilling stations, co-working and social areas, and a golf simulator lounge,” the release continued. “This signature development, located in the heart of our City Centre, will bring the density where it should be. We envision a dynamic, walkable, sustainable, and connected destination that will become a bustling downtown node, welcoming visitors, commuters, and residents alike,” he said in a press release.
