Port Colborne — Fares Street Corner Lot
Port Colborne, ON · Multi-Family Development
R4 corner lot in East Village — minutes to Nickel Beach, ideal for multi-family.
Project Vision
East Village is Port Colborne's lakeside quarter — a four-season recreational community anchored by Nickel Beach, the Welland Canal, and an active downtown. An R4 corner lot here unlocks the chance to deliver much-needed multi-family housing in one of Niagara's tightest, most lifestyle-driven markets.
A prime corner development lot at Fares Street and Lake Road in Port Colborne's East Village, just a few minutes' walk from the popular Nickel Beach area along Lake Erie.
Zoned R4 — ideal for multi-family development — the site represents a rare opportunity in the Niagara Region with strong year-round recreational appeal and proximity to all amenities.
The City of Port Colborne is highly supportive of development and offers a number of incentive programs to encourage new construction, reducing both the timing and capital risk for builders.
