Description
This is an upcoming condo project with convenient access to shops, jobs, schools, and healthcare.
50 Market Street South Condos is a mixed-use pre-construction condominium development in Brantford. Located near Brant Ave and Colborne St, just east of the Grand River, this project aims to redevelop a 12-acre shopping plaza with 2,500 units of new housing. New buildings will range between 6 and 25 storeys and include residential space for condos, townhomes, student housing, and market rentals.
Investors can take advantage of a high walk score that means it is easy to buy groceries, get to work or class, and enjoy nearby parks.
50 Market Street South project will expand the retail and services on site, while retaining current stores. Several new buildings will rise above the ground level shops, with 2 to 3 storeys of new podium space reserved for post-secondary classrooms, banks, and medical offices. Tower floors above will serve residential purposes, adding 2,500 homes to growing Downtown Brantford.
Among the many new buildings featured, there will be condos, student dorms (likely serving Wilfrid Laurier University and/or Conestoga College), townhouses, market-rate rentals, and retail. Buildings will range between 6 and 25 storeys in height.
Ample parking will be provided above ground level — 1,500 parking spots are proposed. This will be an excellent community for students, young professionals, and families.
The current plaza, which sports almost 95,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, will be expanded to 150,000 sq. ft. of commercial space.
On-site shops and restaurants include FreshCo, LCBO, The Beer Store, Dollarama, Little Caesars, Subway, Wendy’s, Popeyes, Boston Pizza, and more, which will still be kept open during development.
Location & Neighbourhood
This is an ultra convenient location in Downtown Brantford, thanks to shops, job opportunities, services, and not one but two post-secondary schools. Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College both have campuses within walking distance, which makes this an ideal investment opportunity for renting out units to students.
This condo project sports a fantastic walk score of 93, which means it’s very convenient to run daily errands by foot. But it is also close to the central bus terminal, just a short 10-min walk away. Brantford is served by Brantford Transit, which offers local bus routes throughout the municipality. And Hwy 403 is less than 10 mins away, providing an easy route to Hamilton, which is about 35 minutes east.
For public transit outside Brantford, GO buses can bring commuters to Aldershot GO Station in Burlington where they can transfer to the Lakeshore West line. Meanwhile, the Brantford train station is less than 1.5 km away from this development, so riders can take VIA Rail trains to Toronto in less than 2 hours.
