Our Previous Projects
Community Properties
Arbour Mill
The Arbour Mill building, owned and operated by Pathway Housing, provides 104 units of affordable community housing spread across approximately 15 floors. Originally constructed in the early 1990s as part of Mississauga’s non-profit housing initiatives, the property was expanded in 2023–2024 with the addition of two floors and six new accessible units. Funded in part by the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, and the Region of Peel, this project represents one of Mississauga’s first vertical mass-timber additions. The building also hosts a range of community-serving programs, including prenatal, early-learning, nutrition, and family support activities delivered in partnership with agencies such as BridgeWay Family Centre.
