#1 45 JAMES Street, St. Catharines, Ontario, L2R3H8
This business in St. Catharines is for sale. It has been on the market 50 days, fresher than the St. Catharines average of 69 days.
Description
Turnkey restaurant opportunity in the heart of downtown St. Catharines: a fully equipped 900 sq. ft. space with 35 seats and 73.3 ft. of street frontage, delivered through a full ground-up build-out completed in 2025. The interior features high-gloss red tile walls, exposed wood-stack accents, an open industrial ceiling with exposed ductwork, a built-in bar, a private speakeasy-style entrance, and a dual-fuel wood/natural gas oven with a full commercial kitchen line in practically new condition — bypassing the 12+ months of construction, permitting, and supply-chain delays a new build would require. Zoned C6-92 (Downtown Traditional Main Street), this is a business asset sale offered together with a lease assignment; lease details available upon request. The location sits a short walk from Brock University's downtown arts campus, the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, and fronts James Street, which the City has slated for pedestrian-priority upgrades. A rare chance to acquire high-end, move-in-ready restaurant infrastructure in a growing downtown core without the cost or timeline of building from scratch. (id:66096)
