Fonthill Yards Mixed Use Development
Kilworth Heights
Mixed Use Development
Set amidst the verdant landscape of Niagara’s most prestigious village, The Bespoke Townhomes of Fonthill Yards is an exciting development in Pelham, Ontario that transforms a former urban commercial lumber yard into a mixed use community that gracefully integrates into the surrounding neighbourhood through a carefully orchestrated plan that ensure the built form is complementary with existing neighbourhood character. Centered within the Niagara Region, the development is just minutes away from the excitement of Niagara Falls.
The entire development consists of 23 townhouses, a 20,000 sq. ft. mixed-use building with ground floor commercial and apartments above, and a central amenity area. Avia Properties retained NPG to help ensure that the new development was harmonious, met municipal requirements, and integrated well with the adjacent neighbourhood.

and Approvals
As project manager and lead planner, Heather Sewell led the process of getting the Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-Law Amendment and Site Plan Approvals that were required to allow the former commercial site to be transformed into a desirable place to live, work and shop.
With the project having already received support from council and city staff, NPG worked closely with other stakeholders to ensure that the designs of the townhouse condominium buildings located on the north boundary have a careful transition of height and scale to integrate with the adjacent neighbourhood.
Character Creates Community
A private park at its centre and lush landscaping at its rear distinguishes this truly exceptional master planned community. Surrounding it are all of the conveniences one needs for modern living. The units of the property are oriented toward the central courtyard, creating a strong community feel. The rooflines and rear facades are attractive, creating uniformity and a strong neighbourhood character. Extensive landscaping along Station Street, a major road providing access to the surrounding residences, creates an attractive streetscape character and entrance to the community.
