DEVELOPMENT: Globizen reveals latest plans for new mixed-use waterfront community in The Bench

FOR RELEASE
MARCH 27, 2024

Lincoln, Ontario – Globizen’s development team has revealed the latest plans for a new mixed-use waterfront community in Lincoln, Ontario, featuring residential, hotel, restaurant, supportive retail and new public spaces. The team, which also includes Court Holdings Real Estate Group Limited, gh3 architects, and Landwise, recently submitted a rezoning application for a waterfront project at 4933 Victoria Avenue N. Located in the centre of The Bench wine region, the project aims to deliver a new level of hospitality and residential living to the Southern Ontario market, with a focus on design and integration with the surrounding wineries.

“The Bench is the largest wine region in Canada, with 58 incredible wineries consistently producing top-ranking wines. Yet, for most Ontarians, the region is not as well known as some of the others in the province,” says Brandon Donnelly, Globizen’s Founder. "We want to use design and development to shine a light on all the talent that populates The Bench. This is one of the most important regions in the country. If we’re going to come in with a new community, we want to make sure we’re additive and uplifting what is already here."

Preliminary plans call for 120 new hotel suites, approximately 375 residential suites, a substantial public plaza, a destination restaurant overlooking Lake Ontario, and ground-floor retail designed to animate the site.

“With our submission now in, we are looking forward to further consultation with the local community,” says Donnelly. “Our next step will be a public meeting in the Spring as we continue connecting directly with local businesses, associations and neighbours.”
