Business background
Located on the banks of the Welland recreational waterway sits a newly constructed 130-unit retirement residence. Grand Canal Retirement Residence is a full-service retirement community with a wide range of meticulously designed and well-crafted suites in a variety of floor plans, sizes, and price points.
With an array of amenities, services, and restaurant-style dining the Grand Canal Retirement Residence provides an exceptional experience for its patrons. This project benefitted from the Downtown and Health and Wellness Cluster Incentive Plan and Brownfield Incentive Program in an estimated amount of $2.5 million.
In addition to emphasizing freedom and choice for residents, the Grand Canal Retirement Residence is focused on seniors having a variety of lifestyle options that encourage developing new hobbies, building new friendships, and exploring new adventures.
