Plan Dixie has submitted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to the City of Mississauga to redevelop a portion of land alongside the northwest boundaries of Dixie Outlet Mall. The plan proposes three elegantly designed mixed-use buildings alongside the existing vibrant retail node as well as a new park and public spaces. All information will be posted on the City’s website soon.
Located in Mississauga, Ontario, Dixie Plaza was the first mall in the area when it opened in 1956, and was renamed Dixie Outlet Mall in the late-80s. Over the years, it has acted as a place for locals from nearby neighbourhoods to shop for everyday needs, or for a bit of fun and delight – from music festivals and markets to pageants. The vision is to restore the area to its ground-breaking roots, by revitalizing it and bringing a beautiful new urban plan to the neighbourhood.
The Plan Dixie Project Team will work closely with the City and community to bring to life a new vision for the property at Dixie Outlet Mall. The plan will have a mix of uses, including enhanced green space, improved access for bikes and walking, new shops and restaurants, housing options, and will bring vibrancy and architectural elegance to the area.
We want to reprogram your retail experience with new options, more options and an improved experience for getting there. We want to re-invent where you dine out, or how you get your groceries – bringing amenities to your doorstep.
More ways to move with improved access for walking, biking and transit riders, leveraging the existing network to seek out opportunities for capacity and safety enhancements.
Revitalization of the neighbourhood with new public realm experiences offering access to outdoor public space and parks to enhance your everyday.
A variety of options for a variety of incomes and needs to support a growing city, supported by a walkable public realm and easily accessible community amenities, shops, restaurants and day-to-day services.
Advancements in design, sustainability and architectural integrity to elevate your surroundings, create places to dwell and delight, and establish a sense of community by bringing people together.

Slate has submitted an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to the City of Mississauga to redevelop a portion of land alongside the northwest boundaries of Dixie Outlet Mall, proposing the creation of a mixed-use community alongside the existing vibrant retail node. This submission is just the first step in a long approval process, and we intend to work closely with the City of Mississauga and local stakeholders in the coming months to ensure we’re providing the highest quality offering to local residents, businesses, and visitors.

We are building something new here. Something that will elevate your neighbourhood with trees, benches, outdoor spaces, walkable amenities, new shops and restaurants. We hope to advance the design of this new place together with the community to build a plan that is right for Mississauga and considers how and what the community wants in their everyday.
We understand community is at the heart of this site. We will work with the City and the local community to find opportunities for new gathering spaces and accessible public realm experiences that support neighbourhood needs.
The vision is to transform a 100% concrete site into a vibrant community with tree-lined pathways, accessible green space and trails. Consideration for families, safety and how we design outdoor spaces are priorities of ours. We will be working with the City and the local community to determine what type of dedicated park space is needed to support the creation of a new public realm that beautifies and restores.
This site has the potential to accommodate many forms of housing. Mississauga and the entire GTA are experiencing an unprecedented pressure on housing affordability, and delivering housing opportunities at a well-connected site with a myriad of amenities is good for our citizens. We will consider the needs of existing and future residents when planning the mix and tenure of units.
Our transportation consultants will be undertaking a series of technical studies to understand the flow of traffic in and out of the site as part of the design process and any future submissions to the City.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) is responsible for the highway and road changes happening around Dixie Outlet Mall. We will continue to keep the community up to date on new information as it becomes available.
We’ve assembled a skilled team of experts to ensure we deliver the very best for the redevelopment of Dixie Outlet Mall.
