Downtown Brampton, the historic centre and heart of the community, is uniquely different from any other part of the city. As the commercial hub of the city since 1853, the Downtown combines historic and contemporary residential with commerce, culture, entertainment, recreation and dining, in a walkable, attractive environment.
The Queen Street Corridor is bounded by McLaughlin Road to west and Bramalea Road to the east. The corridor is home to a diverse selection of business and services including a major retail shopping mall, The Bramalea City Centre. The corridor is currently undergoing an exciting transformation, seeing the construction of many new residential projects in the area and the addition of a new rapid transit system with the launch of Züm.
Downtown Brampton and the Queen Street Corridor are home to over 1,400 businesses and services, the seat of municipal government, cultural attractions, parks, places of worship and exceptional community events. Within a two-kilometre radius of Queen and Main there is a residential population of 50,000, and within a five-kilometre radius it is 150,000. Fifty thousand vehicles travel through the 'Four Corners' daily.
The 'Four Corners' at Main and Queen, is the financial centre of Brampton. Most major banks are located within its core including: RBC Financial, CIBC, TD Canada Trust, Bank of Montreal, BCP Bank, Scotiabank, National Bank and the Business Development Bank Canada.
It is the central office location within the city with approximately a half million square feet of office space concentrated within a couple blocks. As well there is over 400,000 square feet of storefront space in the Downtown.

There are parking opportunities for over 2,000 vehicles in public and private facilities within Downtown. There is also plenty of on-street metered parking available throughout the Downtown.
