As one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, Milton’s population is projected to hit 335,000 by 2051, or nearly triple where it stands today. Yet the downtown core of Ontario’s largest town remains mostly limited to a single strip along and around Main Street. 

Five kilometres to the southeast, however, another retail hub is taking shape around The Laurels, the latest multi-residential development from Mattamy Homes. Phase 1 of the project, which went on sale in September, is part of a master-planned community that will eventually include 1,768 residential units in seven buildings ranging from 12 to 15 storeys, and tens of thousands of square feet of retail space around the intersection of Britannia Road and Regional Road 25.
