Mississauga is nearing the end of its life for suburban residential development. Housing in the Churchill Meadows is the only big project that is nearing with the exception of many condominiums in Mississauga Square One , that will be the next big thing. 

Mississauga has limited supply of land and this is one of the major reasons why our real estate prices continue to grow year after year.  The City estimates that the population of Mississauga will increase to 274,000 households by 2031. And 1/3rd of population will be 55 years old by 2031. 1 in 10 Mississauga residents are new immigrants.
