Demand for new residential space continues to outpace that for commercial and retail square footage, fostering a wave of redevelopment proposals sweeping through malls and shopping plazas across Ontario.Developer Resident has applied to redevelop a shopping plaza at 705 Kingston Road , just east of the Whites Road exit along Highway 401, with an enormous five-tower complex that would feature some of Pickering 's tallest buildings if approved as proposed.
The tallest of the bunch would rise almost 123 metres, taller than anything that exists on the Pickering skyline as of early 2025. At street level, the complex would help create more urban conditions along this unapologetically suburban stretch of Kingston Road, adding over 3,900 square metres of commercial space to the thoroughfare that, along with the residential density, will help animate the development's ground realm.
Despite some clear urban ambitions, the project would include a substantial parking component with a capacity for almost 1,500 cars in a partially above-grade and partially underground parking garage serving complex residents and visitors.
