What is changing

Burlington’s biggest developments, mapped

The skyline argument is really a map argument: where growth is allowed, and what still needs another vote.

Direct answer

The largest files now in public view are 1200 King Road in Aldershot, the provincial Aldershot GO tower proposal, the three GO Major Transit Station Areas, the South Service Road data centre, Millcroft Phase 2, remaining Old Lakeshore towers and 730 Brant Street. A planning approval is not a construction start. This tracker lists status, the next milestone and the source for each.

Questions this hub is not ready to answer

Could Burlington get an OHL team? 1200 King Road includes arena permissions. There is no sourced franchise announcement. How much land is left to develop? A developer claim is not a City land-supply number. Those stay on the research backlog until the documents are strong enough.
