Exceptional mixed-use investment/owner-occupier opportunity in downtown St. Catharines! This fully fenced, M1-zoned property offers main-floor commercial retail space plus a spacious 3-bedroom apartment above-ideal to live, work, and invest in one centrally located property.The highly visible retail space is owner-occupied as an established cannabis dispensary since October 2022, with a loyal customer base, consistent sales, and growth potential. It was previously ran as a cigar and convenience store for ~20 years, reflecting a long history of retail use. The sale includes the real estate along with existing business assets and goodwill (inventory will be extra cost), subject to T&C. Note: the Cannabis Retail Operator Licence is non-transferable-purchasers must obtain their own licence/approvals to operate the cannabis business. The Retail Store Authorization may be transferable, subject to regulatory approval.The second-floor unit offers 3 bedrooms, two 3-piece bathrooms, and a kitchen with 3 appliances-great for an owner-operator, extended family, or rental income. The partially finished basement adds storage, a small office, a 2-piece bathroom, and laundry facilities.Situated on busy Ontario Street, the property enjoys excellent exposure and multiple signage opportunities, with potential advertising revenue (subject to approvals). Transit is at doorstep , Montebello Park is a 5-minute walk, and the QEW/406 interchange is just 2 minutes away by car. The proposed 492-unit affordable housing development is planned within a 5-minute walk, potentially boosting neighbourhood density, foot traffic, and customer flow. A rare chance for investors, entrepreneurs, or owner-occupiers to secure a strategically located mixed-use property with an established retail presence and flexible living/income potential upstairs. .
