Townhome Project Summary
This is an upcoming townhouse project with easy access to everyday amenities in a growing pocket of the Niagara Region.
455 Welland Stacks is a pre-construction development by Sphere Developments in St. Catharines. It will feature 178 stacked townhouse units divided into eight blocks at the northeast corner of Grantham Ave and Welland Ave. This family-oriented project will have spacious and well-designed suites in two- to three-bedroom configurations. Located at 455 Welland Avenue, residents will be a stone’s throw from shops, restaurants, and the QEW.
Additionally, commercial space facing Welland Ave will provide more convenience to project buyers, serving both townhome dwellers and the rest of the St. Catharines community.
Amenities
455 Welland Stacks is a stacked townhouse project at 455 Welland Avenue. Featuring eight 3-storey blocks of residences, there will be 178 family-ready units available in two- or three-bedroom options. The site layout allows convenient car entry from Grantham Ave and Welland Ave.
Sporting contemporary designs with a mix of building materials and a bold white and brown colour palette, these townhouse blocks will offer flexible options for families. Some townhouse blocks will have 1-storey units on the basement and ground floors and 2-storey units on the second and third floors.
Other blocks will only have two-storey units. More details about suite finishes are to come.
Residences will have ample ground-level parking with 230 vehicle spaces and 22 bike spaces. Most units will have private outdoor patios, balconies, or spacious rooftop terraces, and shared outdoor amenities. Five commercial units are included in this project, allowing for greater convenience and an activated streetscape along Welland Ave.
Location & Neighbourhood
455 Welland Stacks is within a very walkable neighbourhood, which sports a walk score of 74, meaning that everyday shops and services are within walking distance. Thanks to great schools, parks, and natural heritage, St. Catharines is a great place for families to live and grow.
This is also a well-connected area for both motorists and public transit riders. The QEW is less than 1 km from the townhouses, so drivers can get to Niagara Falls in 15 minutes, Hamilton in 45 minutes, and Toronto in 90 minutes from here. The St. Catharines GO Station is 11 minutes away, providing riders access to VIA Rail trains and the Lakeshore West GO line. Grantham Ave and Welland Ave are well-served by public transit, so getting around the city without a car is easy.
Welland Ave is an arterial road populated with stores and businesses that provide everyday conveniences like groceries and fast-food meals. Townhouse dwellers will be next to a commercial plaza with Walmart Supercentre, Canadian Tire, NoFrills and more. Additionally, restaurants and cafes within walking distance include McDonald’s, A&W, Subway, Arby’s, and Pitcher’s Sports Bar and Grill.
Just minutes away by car is Downtown St. Catharines, an Urban Growth Centre with many job opportunities. This bustling city centre is full of unique shops, trendy restaurants, and major attractions such as the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre and the Meridian Centre sports arena. It sits in a bend of Twelve Mile Creek and Hwy 406, which is why it also features attractive park space and provides an effortless connection to the rest of the Niagara Region.
Another draw for residents and visitors from across the Greater Golden Horseshoe is the excellent shopping opportunities here. The Outlet Collection at Niagara is an outdoor shopping mall featuring over 100 discounted brands like Nike Factory Store, Polo Ralph Lauren, Saks Fifth Avenue, Coach Outlet, Gap Factory Store, and Bass Pro Shops. This buzzy tourist trap and major employer is only 8 minutes from this development. Plus, Fairview Mall is just 7 minutes away. This popular local shopping centre features nearly 50 shops and services, including Zehrs, Chapters, Winners, Food Basics, Staples, Dollarama, and Petsmart.
St. Catharines is known for its lush natural beauty and heritage. The namesake Welland Canal is about 2 km away from the townhouse development. It is famous for its locks and historical significance, which is highlighted by the St. Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre. Residents will also be a short distance from the shores of Lake Ontario, where they can enjoy exciting water activities or relax by waterfront parks and trails. Other beautiful parks in the area include Lester B. Pearson Park, Richard Pierpoint Park, and Burgoyne Woods.
This is an exceptional city for raising a family. There are highly rated public, Catholic, and French immersion schools near the townhome project, such as the Prince Of Wales Public School, Laura Secord Secondary School, Saint Alfred Catholic Elementary School, and Jeanne Sauvé French Immersion Public School. Additionally, welcoming community centres like Russell Avenue Community Centre and St. Catharines Kiwanis Aquatics Centre offer year-round programs for children and adults.
Last but not least, investors will be pleased to know that Niagara College is about 7 minutes away, and Brock University is less than 15 minutes away, which makes this location great for post-secondary students.
With a full range of life-enhancing amenities available within arm’s reach, 455 Welland Stacks is a perfect place for young families and people from all walks of life. Invest in this St. Catharines project today to be part of this fantastic, fast-growing community.
