Arte Residences

Arte Residences brings an artistic point of view to condominium living in the heart of Cooksville, Mississauga. Developed by Emblem Developments at 89 Dundas Street West, near the intersection of Dundas Street and Hurontario Street, the 18-storey residence was designed as a contemporary architectural statement where modern materials, thoughtful interiors and lifestyle-focused amenities come together. The completed community includes approximately 427 residential suites and was created in collaboration with artist Daniel Mazzone, giving the development a distinctive visual identity that sets it apart from conventional condominium buildings.

The architecture of Arte Residences reflects a deliberate mix of brick, metal, stone and glass, creating a façade that feels contemporary while retaining a sense of permanence. Rather than relying solely on its height or scale, the building places considerable emphasis on composition, detail and the relationship between its architectural elements. This design approach continues into the resident experience, with indoor and outdoor amenity spaces intended to support different parts of everyday life — from fitness and social gatherings to working, relaxing and spending time outdoors.

Inside, Arte was planned around the idea that a condominium should offer more than a private suite. Its amenity program includes spaces such as a fitness centre, party room and outdoor bar, complemented by additional social, co-working and outdoor areas identified across project listings. The result is a residential setting where residents can move easily between quiet personal time and shared community experiences without having to leave the building. The design also reflects EMBLEM’s broader emphasis on architecture and design as an important part of the way people experience their homes.

Location is another defining feature of Arte. Situated in Cooksville, the development is close to a mix of shops, restaurants, everyday services, parks and community facilities. The Dundas Street and Hurontario Street area has long been an important part of Cooksville’s urban fabric, with the City of Mississauga describing Downtown Cooksville as a culturally diverse area with a wide variety of shops, restaurants and services. Ongoing city planning and transportation initiatives are also focused on creating a more walkable, transit-supportive community in the area.

For commuters, Arte’s Cooksville location provides access to a broad regional transportation network. Cooksville GO Station serves the area with GO Transit services, while MiWay routes connect residents with destinations throughout Mississauga. The surrounding road network also provides convenient connections toward major GTA routes, making the location practical for people who regularly travel between Mississauga, Toronto and other employment centres. The City of Mississauga is also advancing rapid-transit improvements in the Dundas Street corridor, including the Dundas Bus Rapid Transit project serving Cooksville and the surrounding area.

Everyday convenience is supported by the variety of destinations surrounding the neighbourhood. Shopping and entertainment options include Square One Shopping Centre and other nearby retail destinations, while parks and recreational spaces provide opportunities to step away from the pace of city life. The Mississauga Valley Trail and nearby parks add a greener dimension to the neighbourhood, giving residents options for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation. Educational institutions and healthcare facilities are also located within the wider Mississauga area, adding to the practicality of the location for households with different lifestyle needs.

Arte’s appeal ultimately comes from the way its different elements work together. Its art-inspired architecture gives the building a recognizable presence, while its Cooksville location connects residents with established neighbourhood amenities and an evolving urban environment. The combination of contemporary design, shared lifestyle spaces, transit access and proximity to the broader Mississauga community makes Arte Residences an example of how modern condominium living can be shaped around both design and everyday convenience.

Now a completed residential address, Arte Residences represents one of Emblem Developments’ distinctive condominium projects in Mississauga. Livabl currently lists the community as completed in 2025 and sold out, reflecting the transition of Arte from a new condominium project into an established residential building within Cooksville.
