rendering:
It's also across from the old Target store at the Seaway Mall that has a proposal to demo and redevelop that part of the mall parking lot to 1,300 units.
The original proposal was 30 storey/20 storey/8 storey buildings, with townhouses, semi-detached with "internal streets, parks, small-scale commercial uses...and accessory dwelling units"
The city planners and council said no to that, but agreed to maximum of 16 storeys and asked the developers to shell out $500k towards a new bus transit hub at the mall.
Should be interesting to see how this plays out.
imho, The place to build mid or high-rises in Welland is either this area/Niagara St corridor, downtown, or any vacant lots along the old canal "recreational waterway".
