Have your say on the future site of Kennedy Rd. S, Highways 410 & 407
BRAMPTON, ON (February 2, 2023) – Launching today, the City of Brampton is undertaking a community-wide engagement to seek residents, businesses, and local stakeholders’ feedback on the future of the
City Lands located at Kennedy Rd. S, Highways 410 & 407.
Identified in the City’s 2040 Vision as the as the east anchor of ‘Uptown Brampton’, this 45.3-hectare (112 acre) site owned by the City of Brampton has transformative potential to advance the area as a regional destination.
A 2019 technical analysis identified the strategic opportunity to transform this large, developable precinct (previously referred to as the “CAA Lands”) from a sports complex into a new urban core with major transit-oriented opportunities for high-density residential, business, leisure, and tourism.
Currently, the area is the location of the CAA sports and entertainment facility (formerly the Powerade Centre.). Redevelopment of the lands aligns with the City’s vision of advancing projects to create “complete communities”.
The City is launching an Expression of Interest (EOI) for interested parties to submit comprehensive plans to develop the lands into a vibrant urban realm and walkable neighbourhood that includes a state-of-the-art, multi-purpose cricket facility.
Expression of Interest Timeline• Q1 2023 - Publish Expression Of Interest

• Q3 2023 - Report back to Council
