Queen Street East, Brampton

Project Overview

GEM Enterprise examined high-rise feasibility for a 1.837-acre site with a client brief indicating approximately 492,121 ft² buildable area (density ≈ 6.15), twin towers around 80 m and 89 m, about 462 residential units, 1.3 spaces/unit parking, and ~11,140 ft² commercial at grade. We focused on structural and construction practicality at this scale, podium transfer options, and parking solutions to inform massing and financial testing.

Core sizing, lift strategy and egress within target floorplates.
Podium-level transfers and mixed-use sequencing.
Delivering the parking ratio in a constrained basement.

Concept structural systems (RC flat slab vs post-tension vs steel-composite) benchmarked for spans/vibration.
Preliminary lateral sizing matched to the target heights.
Podium transfer and column-grid strategies; loading dock/refuse arrangements.
Survey roadmap covering geotechnical, utilities, wind and traffic/parking.

Buildability review supporting massing and pro-forma testing at ~6.15 density.
Defined pathways for podium/transfer design and basement parking feasibility.
