45 James Street, St. Catharines, ON L2R 5B9

Property 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 streetfrontage, delivered through a full ground-up build-out completed in 2025. The interior features high-gloss red tile walls, exposed wood-stackaccents, an open industrial ceiling with exposed ductwork, a built-in bar, a private speakeasy-style entrance, and a dual-fuel wood/natural gasoven with a full commercial kitchen line in practically new condition - bypassing the 12+ months of construction, permitting, and supply-chaindelays a new build would require. Zoned C6-92 (Downtown Traditional Main Street), this is a business asset sale offered together with a leaseassignment; 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 toacquire high-end, move-in-ready restaurant infrastructure in a growing downtown core without the cost or timeline of building from scratch.
