At the heart of Mississauga lies the Square One area. Originally developed by Bruce Mclaughlin out of a cow field, the Square One shopping mall is one of the largest in Canada. As well as being home to Mississauga City Hall, The Living Arts Centre, the new YMCA and the Mississauga Art Gallery there are a mix of Hi-rise office and Condominium apartment buildings.
More recently the Mississauga Square One area has experienced a construction boom of new condominium towers. Even today construction cranes can be seen standing tall, in defiance of current economic conditions. Condominium buildings such as Chicago, Onyx and Ultra Ovation are inching their way skyward and to take their place amongst the other recent new condo projects.
The Square One Mississauga Transit bus station is also located here from where you travel to all other parts of Mississauga. If you work in Downtown Toronto, the Go Transit bus leaves from here also.
