2025 InvestMilton Annual Report
Milton Education Village & Post-secondary Anchors
Milton Education Village
Progress is being made to bring the MEV to life.
The new development by Schlegel Villages at Ridgeview Court is close to completion, with final permits issued in early 2026. Substantial construction was completed in 2025, and it is anticipated that up to 192 residents can be welcomed to the new long-term residence by the summer of 2026.
As the first newly constructed building in the MEV, this site is significant to the plans for the complex to support educational programming for Conestoga College. Through this ongoing partnership with Conestoga College, Schlegel Villages in Milton will be the new home of a ‘Living Lab’ classroom for healthcare, bringing an innovative model that integrates real-world, hands-on education and long-term care support. Conestoga College anticipates students beginning this work in Milton upon Schlegel Villages’ opening late 2026, supporting proactive workforce development in a key healthcare field.
Mattamy Homes, a significant land holder in the MEV, has also taken steps to bring their development to fruition. In 2025, Mattamy submitted a Plan of Subdivision application to establish a mixed-use community featuring residential blocks, mixed-use sites, parkland, and rights-of-way.
These projects advance the MEV vision to bring together healthcare, education, post-secondary campuses, an innovation district, and a complete neighbourhood. Progress in this area strengthens InvestMilton’s ability to attract collaborative, high-value businesses, fuels Milton’s talent pipeline, and supports Milton’s long-term economic growth.
Post-Secondary Update
Wilfrid Laurier University continues to expand programming in Milton and welcomed their first cohort for the Business Technology Management program in the fall of 2025.
Laurier also completed construction to expand their footprint at their temporary location, 555 Industrial Drive, to accommodate the new Bachelor of Engineering in Software Engineering program for fall 2026.
Milton has welcomed the influx of new students to the community and will continue to support both Conestoga and Laurier as they move forward with their future campus plans.
