M6 Condos

M City, a landmark urban development in Mississauga, is owned and developed by Rogers Real Estate Development Limited, a company linked to the private holding entities of the prominent Rogers family. The Rogers family has a rich history in Canadian business, primarily through Rogers Communications Inc., a renowned and publicly traded telecommunications company founded by Ted Rogers, one of Canada’s most influential business figures.

The story of M City is deeply rooted in the legacy of Ted Rogers in Mississauga. In the 1960s, he acquired 43 hectares of land in the area for the placement of transmitters for one of his early ventures, radio station CHFI, which remains the most popular radio station in Toronto to this day. After moving the transmitters in the early 1990s, Ted Rogers made a strategic decision to retain ownership of the land, eventually selling a significant portion to residential builders.

Since 1996, when Urban Capital started constructing the 48-unit Camden Lofts, these have been the company’s guiding principles. This proposal, situated on dusty Camden Street in the then-depleted Fashion District west of downtown Toronto, broke the city’s development standards. Camden’s urban living necessitates a measure of volume rather than an area measure. The development was based on the idea that deindustrialized urban areas could be revitalized as viable metropolitan hubs. It is possible for urban condominiums with a focus on design to compete with suburban homes, and there are some who want more.
