Well positioned in the heart of Midtown Oakville's 254-acre secondary plan earmarked for urban expansion and intensification, the property sits within 400 metres of the Oakville GO terminal expansion area, two kilometers from Downtown Oakville and is in walking distance to the Oakville Place Mall.

"We couldn't be more excited to acquire this prime parcel of land," says The Rose Corporation's President, Daniel Berholz. "The property, and its central location within the Midtown Oakville neighbourhood, offers Rose an unparalleled opportunity to play an important role in the Town's vision to create a vibrant and diverse community where people will be able to ultimately live, work and play."

"Our team is looking forward to engaging with key stakeholders to identify and implement the best uses for this site," adds Berholz.

For over a quarter of a century, The Rose Corporation has built a successful record acquiring large urban brown and grey field sites across Ontario (including the Revival/Toronto Film Studios, Pinewood Studios and The Planet in downtown Toronto and the Tannery District redevelopment in Kitchener, Ontario) reimagining and revitalizing them, creating value for the sites themselves and the communities in which they are located.
