Major Redevelopment Proposed for 777 Guelph Line, Burlington
A significant redevelopment is proposed for the site at 777 Guelph Line in Burlington, Ontario, formerly home to a Hudson's Bay store. The plan includes constructing eight buildings comprising 11 towers, reaching heights up to 37 storeys. This development aims to introduce 3,476 residential units, 7,279 square meters of retail space, and a new public park, transforming the existing mall area into a mixed-use community. *UrbanToronto

The proposal is currently in the pre-application phase. A community meeting is scheduled for April 22, 2025, to discuss the project's details and gather public feedback. The City of Burlington has not yet received a complete application, and public comments will be formally collected once the application process advances. *City of Burlington
Site and Surroundings

Urban Integration and Amenities
Plans emphasize integrating the development into the surrounding urban fabric through the addition of two new public streets: a north-south road connecting Fairview and Prospect streets, and an east-west extension toward the Canadian Tire lot to the east. A new public park covering 4,237 square meters is also proposed, positioned near the location of the former Hudson’s Bay building. The green space is designed to offer a central community gathering point, anchoring the residential towers and enhancing livability.
Implications for Burlington's Housing Market
The proposed development could significantly impact Burlington's housing market, which is currently experiencing a balanced state. In March 2025, the average house price in Burlington was reported at $1,171,467, with 896 new listings and an average of 23 days on the market. The introduction of nearly 3,500 residential units may influence housing supply and affordability in the region.
