Condos and Townhomes Near the Hurontario LRT (Hazel McCallion Line): A 2026 Buyer’s Guide

The Hazel McCallion Line, long known as the Hurontario LRT, is an 18 km light rail line from Port Credit GO in Mississauga to Brampton Gateway Terminal, with 19 stations and stops (as of November 2026). Metrolinx has not announced an opening date. Buying a condo or townhome near the line can make sense if transit matters to your daily life, but no one can promise what it will do to prices.

This guide covers what Metrolinx says about the route, stops and timeline, how Ontario’s transit-oriented communities program fits in, and how to judge a pre-construction home near a future stop without relying on hype. We will update it every quarter as Metrolinx releases new information.

What is the Hazel McCallion Line?

The Hazel McCallion Line is a light rail transit (LRT) project led by Metrolinx, the provincial transit agency. According to the Metrolinx project page, as of November 2026 the line:

• Runs 18 km from Port Credit GO at the south end to Brampton Gateway Terminal at the north end.
• Has 19 stations and stops, including four major transit hubs.
• Runs in its own dedicated lane, separate from regular traffic.
• Passes through two urban growth centres.

Many buyers still search for it as the “Hurontario LRT”, and both names refer to the same project. For home buyers, the key point is that it links the Port Credit area of Mississauga to the south end of Brampton with frequent, separated rail service, and connects with several other transit systems along the way.

Route, stops and connections

Metrolinx describes the line as a connector between existing networks. As of November 2026, Metrolinx counts six transit systems and rail connections along the route.

Item	What Metrolinx says (as of November 2026)
Length	18 km of light rail
Termini	Port Credit GO (south) to Brampton Gateway Terminal (north)
Stations and stops	19, including four major transit hubs
GO Transit connections	Milton line and Lakeshore West line
Other connections	Mississauga Transitway, Brampton Transit, ZUM and MiWay
Right of way	Dedicated lane
Opening date	Not announced

We have not listed every stop name and intersection here. Metrolinx publishes the station list on its project pages, and we would rather point you there than risk a wrong name or location. If you are looking at a specific address, check it against the Metrolinx map, or ask us and we will check it for you.

Why the connections matter

A light rail line on its own moves people along one corridor. Its usefulness grows with its connections. A home near a stop that also links to GO Transit, the Mississauga Transitway or ZUM may open up more trips than a home near a stop with no transfer. When you compare projects, look at what each nearby stop connects to, not just how close it is.

When will the Hurontario LRT open?

As of November 2026, Metrolinx has not announced an opening date. The Metrolinx latest updates page reports construction progress, not a service start date.

A Global News report said a Metrolinx spokesperson would not confirm a completion date. According to that report, Metrolinx said a final date will be announced after the systems integration milestone and entry into Revenue Service Demonstration (the testing period before passenger service). The same report mentioned an early-2028 construction-completion target, but Metrolinx has not confirmed it, so treat it as unofficial.

What this means for buyers:

• Do not assume the line will be running by the time your pre-construction home is ready to move into.
• Do not base a purchase on a sales brochure that quotes an opening date unless Metrolinx has announced it.
• Check the Metrolinx pages again before you sign, and again before your occupancy date.

The Downtown Brampton extension

Metrolinx lists a Hazel McCallion Line Downtown Brampton Extension under Future Transit Planning. It is not part of the 18 km line now being built. If a home in Brampton is marketed as being “on the LRT” but sits along the future extension rather than the current route, ask what stage the extension is at. Planning is not the same as construction, and plans can change.

Transit-oriented communities (TOC) in Ontario

Ontario runs a Transit-Oriented Communities program (page last updated October 5, 2026). Its goal is to build mixed-use communities with more housing, jobs, retail, public amenities and entertainment within a short distance of transit stations. The province says the program aims to:

• Increase transit ridership
• Reduce traffic congestion
• Increase housing supply, including affordable housing
• Add jobs and stimulate the economy

Cooksville GO: the TOC linked to the Hazel McCallion Line

On the Ontario TOC page, the proposed community at Cooksville GO on the Milton line is described as connecting riders to GO Transit and the future Hazel McCallion LRT. As of November 2026, the province lists it as proposed, with:

• Approximately 3,170 new homes
• Approximately 320 jobs
• A retail plaza and pedestrian-friendly public space
• Bike lanes and multi-use paths at street level

This is the only TOC we found on the provincial page that is tied to the Hazel McCallion Line. We did not find a confirmed TOC at Port Credit or in Brampton on that page. If you see a project marketed as part of a “transit-oriented community”, ask whether it is part of the provincial program or just uses the phrase in its marketing.

What a TOC can mean for nearby buyers

A large proposed community near your home can bring new shops, public space and services. It also brings years of construction and many new homes, which adds supply to the local market. Both sides are worth weighing. A proposal is also not a finished plan, and the details can change before anything is built.

Finding condos and townhomes near a stop

Most pre-construction homes near the line will be in Mississauga or Brampton. You can browse current projects on our Mississauga pre-construction page and our Brampton pre-construction page, or filter by pre-construction condos and new townhomes.

We have not yet matched each of our project pages to a specific stop, and we will not guess. When we do list a project as near the line, we will name the street or intersection, not a walking time. Walking times depend on the final station entrances, crossings and your own route, and they are easy to overstate.

How to check a project yourself:

1. Get the project’s street address or major intersection.
2. Find the nearest stop on the Metrolinx station list and map.
3. Look at the actual route on foot: busy crossings, sidewalks and where the platform is.
4. Check which other systems that stop connects to (GO, Transitway, ZUM, MiWay or Brampton Transit).
5. Compare the project’s expected occupancy with the line’s status. As of November 2026 there is no official opening date.

What transit can and can’t mean for prices

It is common to hear that a new transit line will push nearby prices up. Be careful with that claim. Nobody can promise appreciation, and we will not.

What transit can do:

• Make a location more convenient, which can increase interest from buyers and renters who do not want to drive.
• Support more shops and services near stations over time, especially where the province or the cities plan for growth.
• Widen the range of jobs and schools you can reach without a car.

What transit can’t do:

• Guarantee that a home will be worth more at closing, or later.
• Protect you from changes in interest rates, the wider market or the amount of new supply built near the same stations.
• Make up for a poor floor plan, high fees or a project that does not suit your needs.

Also remember that areas near stations often get a lot of new housing. That is the point of programs like TOC. More supply near the same stop can mean more competition when you sell or rent. Buy a home you would be happy to live in, or rent out, even if the line takes longer than expected.

A short checklist before you buy near the line

• Confirm the line’s status on the Metrolinx pages, not just in sales materials.
• Plan for construction. Areas near the corridor and near proposed communities may see building activity for years.
• Ask about noise and vibration design for units that face the corridor.
• Read the agreement of purchase and sale with a real estate lawyer, including the occupancy terms.
• Compare more than one project near the line. See what is selling now.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Hurontario LRT the same as the Hazel McCallion Line?

Yes. The Hazel McCallion Line is the name Metrolinx now uses for the light rail project long known as the Hurontario LRT.

Where does the Hazel McCallion Line run?

As of November 2026, Metrolinx says it runs 18 km from Port Credit GO in Mississauga to Brampton Gateway Terminal, with 19 stations and stops.

When will the Hurontario LRT open?
