Rogers is stepping into real estate.
According to the Toronto Star, Rogers Real Estate Development Limited, a private holding company owned by the Rogers family, will build a behemoth 10-tower expanse of condos and parkland in Mississauga’s City Centre.
It will sit on a parcel of land bought by Ted Rogers in 1960 and serve as a tribute to the telecom pioneer.
The total cost of the project hovers around $1.5 billion and will see more than two acres of public parkland complement the 4.3-million-square-foot development. It’s a pretty stunning undertaking for a piece of real estate that was originally purchased for $170,000 and intended to house a radio transmitter.
When all is done, the project will bear the name ‘M City’. Oh, and residents will be privy to Rogers high-speed Internet and cable TV, of course.
Construction is expected to begin in 2017 or 2018, with around 6,000 units planned across 10 towers of unique architectural design.
