In a full circle moment, EllisDon has broken ground on the Sir Robert Peel Centre Redevelopment Project, a facility originally constructed by EllisDon in the 1980s. Now, this milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter in Peel Region’s public safety infrastructure.
The redevelopment will deliver a modern, high-performance policing hub designed to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population and evolving public safety landscape.
“Breaking ground at the Sir Robert Peel Centre marks a unique opportunity to honour past achievements while shaping a forward-looking, modernized vision for the future” said Andrew Anderson, senior vice president and Area Manager, Toronto Buildings, EllisDon. “Now we can shape its future with the same care, innovation, and purpose that is characteristic of EllisDon. It’s a full-circle moment, and one that reminds us how powerful it is to build with intention, and for our future.”
The Sir Robert Peel Redevelopment Project is being delivered by EllisDon’s Toronto Buildings team, returning to a site they first built with the same commitment to precision and enduring quality back in the1980s. Supported in part by EllisDon’s Sustainable Building Solutions and Building Material Sciences teams, they are applying advanced building systems and environmental strategies that reflect EllisDon’s leadership in high-performance civic infrastructure.
The Sir Robert Peel Redevelopment Project will transform Peel Regional Police’s Division 22 into a modern, purpose-built complex that supports continuous, high-performance policing.
With advanced infrastructure including biometric-enabled detainee processing, and a state-of-the-art forensic lab, the facility is purpose-built to enhance public safety. These integrated systems support faster investigations, and more effective law enforcement, reinforcing the community’s trust in its protective services.
Through low-carbon concrete, and aiming to meet the Zero Carbon Building Standard, the project sets a benchmark for civic development—one that prioritizes resilience, efficiency, and long-term public value.
