Everything from eccentric microbreweries to exquisite cuisine have made their way from Toronto to Beamsville, where a slew of new development is transforming it from a sleepy to bustling town.<\/p>\n
But arguably the major draw for Beamsville is that it\u2019s in the heart of Ontario\u2019s wine country, and as couples make their way west to buy crates of wine from their favourite, idiosyncratically named wineries like Organized Crime and Megalomaniac, they\u2019re noticing the nascent residential development.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the summertime, you want to go for a drive and check out wine country, plus all the condos that are going to get built there,\u201d said Shaminder Gogna, Broker of Record and Founding President of , which is working with a landowner in Beamsville to develop Bench Condos, a five-storey, 32-unit boutique building that will have three ground-level commercial suites yet to be sold.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has functional units with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and over 1,000 sq ft for a liveable layout. With modern finishes and stainless steel appliances, 10 colour palettes that buyers can choose from, and 10-foot ceilings, this project is absolutely end user-driven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Units come with one parking spot and there\u2019s a large outdoor terrace as The Bench\u2019s crown jewel amenity, but Gogna says people are moving to Beamsville from the Oakville, Burlington and areas because they can get more space for their dollar. Moreover, as many Bench Condos buyers have told Gogna, Beamsville\u2019s quaintness is charming, but atypical of small municipalities, it satisfies their refined tastes as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have amenities like Costco and Starbucks, which are only three or four highway stops west of Grimsby, so you\u2019re in between two major markets in a quiet town where you can really enjoy the finer things, like the wineries and the breweries,\u201d said Gogna. \u201cYou\u2019re also close to Lake Ontario; it\u2019s just on the other side of the QEW.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beamsville is also part of the Metrolinx Expansion Plan, which will be minutes away from Bench Condos, allowing residents to work in downtown Toronto and retire to a quiet community at night and on the weekends, where they can still enjoy much of the fare Toronto\u2019s known for.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re finding a lot of couples are buying because they\u2019re passing our site on their way to wineries and they say to themselves, \u2018Oh my God, we can live here now.\u2019 Whether it\u2019s their second place to stay or they\u2019re warming up to selling their real estate in Oakville and Burlington, they\u2019re pleasantly surprised that there\u2019s something in Beamsville they can buy. The nearby wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake have also become a big attraction for couples.\u201d<\/p>\n
Condoville has a few other Beamsville-based boutique condo developments readying for launch because of the town’s large potential.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have another site pre-launching in the fall,\u201d said Gogna. \u201cIt\u2019s Ontario\u2019s wine country, which is No. 1, but we have some units and many more developments to come in this area.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
