A 45-storey tower is proposed at 7 St Paul St W in St. Catharines (currently a parking lot). This would become the tallest building in St. Catharines, shattering the current holder of that title at 21-storeys, and the 30-storey currently proposed.
Wow there are a lot of huge proposals happening in St. Catharines.

Minor Fisheries serves up Fresh Fish and Chips, famous for its Lake Erie Perch and Pickerel (aka Walleye). They have a small side patio, and also serve whole fish or fillets to take home and cook yourself.
They have a fish processing plant on Elm St. in the north end of the city, and own a seasonal restaurant in Dunnville near Port Maitland.
shops along West St.
charming old houses
Pie Guys bakery&cafe is a pleasant locally owned spot. Fresh coffee, pies, other desserts, some savoury foods, they also have a liquor license and have an attractive patio in the warm months (not shown).
The little orange-ish house dates from the mid 1800s and has been renovated into apartments, as has the 3-floor Victorian next door.
They made this into the shape of a ship's bow. kinda neat!

There's many other shops along West St. This was just my excursion to view the condo progress.

yeah I'm kinda shocked a 45-storey has been proposed
I hope at least some of the tall buildings come to downtown St. Kitts. It will increase the vibrancy. During the summer, downtown is noticeably quieter without all the Brock students.

Nearly 62 hectares of prime waterfront land along Welland’s Recreational Canal will be developed after city council approved selling the property Tuesday.
The lands, known as the Northern Reach, consist of 52.53 hectares in Welland and 8.95 hectares in Thorold and run along the canal from Woodlawn Road north to almost Merritt Road.
Welland purchased the 8.95 hectares from Thorold about a decade ago.
It will be developed by LIV Communities which has plans to build 3,800 to 4,500 residential units and will contain a mixed-use residential and a commercial block that features outdoor patio areas with a canal and park views.
Wow, up to 4,500 units proposed. Welland's current population is around 57,000 so if built it will push the city well over the 60,000 mark.
Also, what happened to the big brick building on the SE corner of Robinson and Fallsview?
On the most recent trip I noticed that the former pyramid-shaped Imax theatre in front of the Skylon Tower has been reduced to rubble, although the site has not been cleared.
