Monday, May 4, 2026
Introducing Pickering Ridge Development — a bold vision for modern, connected living.
“I am proud to announce the approval of the OPA/ZBA application at our Pickering property. City council voted in favour of the By-Law on April 27th, thus culminating a long path to achieve this milestone. As we look ahead and begin work on SPA application, I would like to take a moment to thank my team of dedicated consultants who have worked along side me on this journey, in particular our planning consultants Robert MacFarlane, MCIP, RPP & @Connor Wright of Zelinka Priamo Ltd., Russell Fleischer & Ali Afrasiabi of Turner Fleischer architects and all other consultants who worked on this project, your dedication to your craft and long hours have not gone unnoticed”. Gabe Cicconi, Director of Development and Construction.
Pickering Ridge is a high-density, mixed-use residential community thoughtfully planned across seven phases. Phase 1 will introduce two striking towers rising 36 and 31 storeys, delivering approximately 650 residential units. The development includes underground parking and a prominent, easily accessible commercial component, along with a meaningful allocation of designated affordable housing.
Designed for today’s diverse residents, Pickering Ridge will offer a range of 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments, complemented by contemporary amenities and integrated green spaces that foster a balanced, connected community.
The City of Pickering is on a strong growth trajectory. Its Housing Needs Assessment identifies significant long-term population expansion, underscoring the importance of forward-thinking developments like Pickering Ridge. This is more than a housing project, it is a response to the evolving needs of one of the GTA’s fastest-growing communities, combining residential density with essential retail and commercial services.
With its strategic location, expanding infrastructure, and vibrant local character, Pickering is rapidly emerging as a premier destination to live, invest, and grow. Pickering Ridge is poised to play a central role in that future.
