Oakville Council Approves Four Towers Near Bronte GO Station

Four mixed-use towers are coming to 2172 Wyecroft Road, a short walk from the Bronte GO Station. Oakville council voted at its August 10 meeting to let the developer, NBIM 2172 Wyecroft LP, build two 21-storey towers and two 24-storey towers on the 2.36 hectare property.

That is a smaller plan than the one residents saw in December 2025. The original application called for a 32-storey and a 35-storey building on the north block and a 28-storey and a 25-storey building on the south block, all of which pushed past the area's 24-storey height limit and drew objections from councillors and the public.

The developer went back and reworked it. "We listened to the feedback we received at the public meeting in December. We made substantial changes to the application, including a reduction in height to completely conform to the Livable Oakville Plan," said Ashley Paton of Bousfields Inc., who spoke for the developer. The revised plan also added ground-floor landscaping, a grocery store, and more family-sized units.

What is actually getting built

The site is planned for 1,191 residential units: 619 one-bedroom, 445 two-bedroom and 127 three-bedroom. That last number is the one to watch, because the December proposal included only 53 three-bedroom units and the approved plan more than doubles that share. Alongside the housing there is 2,550 square metres of retail and commercial space, a 1,355 square metre daycare, 1,742 parking spaces and 1,199 bicycle parking spaces.

Town staff asked for a minimum three-storey difference between the two towers on each block so the skyline varies rather than flattening out, which is how the plan landed at two 21s and two 24s. Ward 1 Councillor Sean O'Meara thanked the developer for staying inside the height limit, noting that after the long Bronte Major Transit Station Area process, "it's great to see that you listened to the residents and you came back with what the town was asking for."

Harry Shea of the Bronte Village Residents' Association raised a practical point at the meeting: the towers will sit next to working industrial businesses, and future residents should know that before they move in so those businesses do not get complaints about long-standing operations. He also pointed out that this site is one piece of a much larger transit area that will eventually need parks, schools, health care and gathering space. "Growth should not only be measured in the number of housing units, but in the quality of the community that is eventually created," he said.
