3700 Kaneff Crescent
Place Avant Condominium is a highrise condo located at 3700 Kaneff Crescent in the Mississauga Valley area of Mississauga, Ontario.
Contents
The building was constructed by developer the Kaneff Group in 1983. It’s one of several Kaneff condominiums and purpose-built rental buildings in Mississauga Valley, including Obelisk 1 at 3590 Kaneff Crescent, Place IV at 3650 Kaneff Crescent, and Place Royale at 3695 Kaneff Crescent.
3700 Kaneff Crescent itself consists of a single 24 storey tower with a mix of one, two, and three bedroom apartments.
Municipal address for this condominium is 3700 Kaneff Crescent, Mississauga, Ontario L5A 4B8.
The closest major intersection is Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd. E.
Although it is located in the Mississauga Valley district, which is an area slightly to the southeast of Mississauga City Centre (MCC), Place Avant is surrounded by plenty of retail and commercial options. It is situated very near to Central Parkway Mall, which is a neighbourhood mall that includes a Food Basics grocery store, a Rexall Drug Mart, a Service Canada outlet (passport office), a cinema, and several additional stores and restaurants.
Pros and Cons
There are a few features to note here. First, 3700 Kaneff Crescent benefits from the era when it was built. Condo apartments here are quite large when compared to today’s more recent projects.
For example, most 2 and 3 bedroom units are between 1000 and 1200 square feet, which is quite a premium over today’s typical units. That’s a win.
Next, the company that built this condo was the Kaneff Group. They are highly regarded in the real estate development sector, and are known for building high quality buildings.
Finally, the proximity to the Cooksville GO Station is a huge plus for many commuters.
As for “cons”, there is really only one. Place Avant Condominium was built during a time when balconies were discouraged. There are no open balconies to be found here.
Before we take a deep dive into the building itself, let’s take a look at the area.
Mississauga Attractions
Shopping
The Place Avant Condominium is at the northern tip of Mississauga Valley, which provides an abundance of independent shops and services. You will find plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, pharmacies, offices, and stores.
In addition, Square One Shopping Centre, Ontario’s largest mall, is just a 3 minute drive away. The southeast entrance to the mall (Walmart) is the closest.
Square One has more than 360 stores, restaurants, bars, and services.

There is a great variety of entertainment venues once you cross over to the City Centre area. Here’s just a few places that anyone can enjoy.

Transit
The Place Avant condo is well connected with heavy rail commuter options. It’s about a 20 minute walk to the Cooksville GO Station, or a 4 minute drive. This is a transportation hub for central Mississauga, linking both the city’s public transit system (“MiWay”), and GO Transit.
The Cooksville GO Station recently underwent a major expansion of its free parking facility.
The area is expected to get even greater access to transportation options in the next few years with the construction of the Hurontario light rail transit (LRT) project, which will be called the Hazel McCallion (Hurontario) LRT, to commemorate the former Mississauga mayor.
LRT
The Hazel McCallion LRT is a streetcar line that will have 19 stops starting from Port Credit in the south, up through Cooksville and Mississauga Valley, continuing up to Square One Shopping Centre, and then proceeding to the Brampton Gateway Terminal. There will be several stops near the Place Avant Condo, including one at Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd., and one at the Cooksville GO Station.
While the Cooksville GO Station is a major transportation hub in its own right, the LRT will also provide further connectivity to the main transportation hub in the City of Mississauga, which is the central Mississauga MiWay Transit and GO bus terminal. This terminal is located at the north side of the Square One mall.
Here you will find direct MiWay bus service to points across the city, as well as direct express bus service to the Kipling subway station in Etobicoke.
Furthermore, GO Transit bus service extends from here to downtown Toronto, and to many other points including Toronto Pearson International Airport, Hamilton, and even Scarborough.
