In the Record on November 23, 2011, Ashley Csanady wrote that Guelph Based Thomasfield Homes has proposed a 135-hectare development that would offer more than 850 residential properties and house about 2200 residents.  There will be a mix of apartment style, townhouse and single-detached homes according to the proposal.

A proposed Go Transit Station would anchor the new development at one end.  Bill Green, a principal planner for GSP group that designed the community said, “The majority of the homes would be built within 800 meters of the station”.  He expects the station to progress alongside the rest of the development and be operational sometime in 2015.

Green went onto say, “The main focus for the mix uses is to reduce the number of automobile trips.  He envisions a bank, pharmacy, small grocery store and cafes in the retail space.”

In a side note from me, the Real Estate Investment Network encourages investors to buy real estate that is within 800 m of a major transportation change like a new GO Transit Station.
