A new grocery store, apartments, office space, and a community police office are being proposed for the corner of 200 Street and 32 Avenue in Brookswood's Booth neighbourhood, in a recent application made by Jim Pattions Developments.

The proposal, on the northeast corner of the intersection, would include a 48,000 square foot Save-On-Foods grocery store, 447 apartment units, 58,500 square feet of other retail space, 28,400 square feet of office space, 17,300 square feet of municipal 'satellite' space, and a 2,300 square foot community policing office.

In total, it would include five buildings, with the mixed-use commercial/residential buildings rising to six storeys.

The buildings would cover just over nine acres (3.67 hectares).

The application for the project was filed on July 19 this year, and it is in the review stage at the Township. It has not yet come before the Township council.

An updated neighbourhood plan for the Booth area, adopted by the Township just this June after a series of major revisions to account for changed provincial housing regulations, designate that area for a commercial village. The Pattison Developments proposal would cover a significant section of the village-designated area.

Creating new community and neighbourhood plans for Brookswood is a process that has taken about a decade. After a new Official Community Plan for the area was adopted in 2017, the Township slowly developed neighbourhood plans for the Booth, Rinn, and Fernridge areas. That process was slowed by the pandemic.

The plans were revamped in 2023 under Mayor Eric Woodward to meet changing economic realities for developers, and then rapidly revamped again when the provincial government mandated small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUHs) be allowed on all single family lots.
